Reason

Navilyst Medical is recalling PICC catheters that contain valve(s) manufactured prior to July 15, 2014. Valves manufactured after this date incorporate a manufacturing specification change that reduces the incidence of hemolysis during blood sampling through the PICC catheter. Use of the PICC catheters that are subject to this recall may result in an increased incidence of hemolyzed blood samples which may require additional peripheral access or replacement of the PICC catheter.
