Reason

BD has identified two issues with the Groshong connector portion that impacts the Groshong product. First, the inner diameter of the distal connector may be reduced resulting in the inability to pass the catheter through the connector. Secondly, the catch slot on the distal connector may be deformed resulting in the inability for the distal connector to properly lock onto the associated proximal connector section.
