Atrium Medical Heparin Recall
Oversulfated Chondroitin Sulfate (OSCS)
Atrium Initiates Voluntary Recall Action Regarding HYDRAGLIDE™ Brand Heparin-Coated Thoracic Drainage Catheters used for Autotransfusion during Cardiopulmonary Bypass Surgery
May 12, 2008 – Atrium Medical Corporation has recalled selected lots of HYDRAGLIDE™ Brand Heparin-Coated Thoracic Drainage Catheters. Limited lots of Atrium heparin-coated Hydraglide Thoracic Catheters were manufactured with heparin found to have been contaminated with oversulfated chondroitin sulfate (OSCS).
Other heparin products have also been contaminated with OSCS. Over 80 deaths and 700 serious adverse events have been associated with Baxter heparin products and other heparin products. In this case, there have not been any deaths or adverse events associated with the Atrium’s HYDRAGLIDE. This may be because Atrium’s HYDRAGLIDE Catheters do not contain high levels of heparin. Even so, there still exists a potential exposure of OSCS to the patient.
