Affected Products

  1. PERCUTANEOUS NEONATAL PIGTAIL NEPHROSTOMY SET
  2. PERCUTANEOUS PIGTAIL NEPHROSTOMY SETS WITH CATHETERS

Reason

The indwell time for the Percutaneous Neonatal Pigtail Nephrostomy Set and Pediatric Nephrostomy Stent Set is decreasing from 4 months to 4 weeks. If a catheter is left indwelling longer than 4 weeks, there is an increased potential for breakage, kinking, encrustation, migration, and/or infection to occur. Potential adverse events that may result from these hazards include discomfort, additional intervention, hydronephrosis, and loss of kidney function.
