Atrium Medical Corporation recently announced that they are conducting a recall on particular lots of their thoracic drainage catheters.

They have been found to be contaminated with oversulfated chondroitin sulfate (OSCS). The risks are currently unknown. The recall was prompted by an influx of reports of serious injury and even death of people who have administered heparin via injection that contain large doses of OSCS. The complete name of the product in question is HYDRAGLIDE™ Brand Heparin-Coated Thoracic Drainage Catheters.

If you have this product, you should discontinue use immediately and contact your medical advisor. See full article for additional information.
