  • Cause
    Covidien has updated the instructions for use for polyurethane single lumen umbilical vessel catheters to include additional information on the care of the device. the updates were made to address the increasing use of disinfectants containing alcohol and/or acetone to clean vascular access devices. while the manufacturer recognizes that these materials are now required in many hospital protocols for routine cleaning of vascular access devices, the use of these disinfectants can cause damage to the polyurethane contained in the catheter and make it more susceptible to physical damage, which may ultimately lead to the need to replace the catheter.
