Huber Needles Recalled for Coring
MedPage Today reports that the FDA has recalled several brands of Huber access needles because of “coring,” which means they punch a thin sliver of silicone out of an otherwise self-healing access port when being inserted.
“Coring may lead to infection, damage or death of tissue, swelling, or other serious adverse health consequences, occurring as a result of the core traveling through blood vessels into the patient’s lungs. These issues may potentially cause death,” the FDA said in its recall notice.
