Class II — the FDA judged the product may cause temporary or medically reversible harm, with a remote chance of serious harm.
This is the FDA's risk judgment for this recall. It describes the potential of the product as a category — it does not establish that any specific unit harmed anyone. Most recalls are Class II or III.
Guidewire 70cm x 1mm (0.038 ) REF 5583705 These accessories are intended for use with Bard 14.5 Fr. Long-Term Dual Lumen Hemodialysis Catheters. Please refer to the applicable catheter Instructions for Use for directions on the use of these accessories.
Why it was recalled
Due to guidewires being manufactured incorrectly with the guidewires being mis-assembled within the hoop such that the proximal (stiff) end of the guidewire is located at the distal end of the hoop. Injury could occur if the user attempts to insert the proximal end into the patient.
Is your unit affected?
The recall covers only the specific lots or serial numbers the FDA listed. Enter the lot or serial number from your product's label and we'll check it against that list.
A match means your unit may be covered — stop and call your pharmacist before doing anything. No match suggests it isn't covered, but confirm anyway: code formats vary and lists can be incomplete. Your unit not being listed does not guarantee it is safe, and being listed does not mean you have been harmed.

What this is — and is not
A recall is a recorded FDA enforcement action — the FDA logged that a firm is removing or correcting a product. It does not establish that any specific unit harmed anyone, and causation is not established by a recall. The class above is the FDA's risk judgment for the product category, not a finding about your unit. This page informs and compares; it is not medical advice and never tells you to start or stop a drug or device.
