Edwards lifesciences swan-ganz catheters
Official notice
29 Apr 2026
An official Health Canada notice concerns Edwards lifesciences swan-ganz catheters. There have been a growing number of complaints (outside of Canada) of leaks/breakage involving failures of the (blue) proximal injectate lumen hub on Swan-Ganz catheters. The issue is linked to manufacturing process and material changes and is associated with situations where the (blue) proximal injectate hub and lumen experience frequent manipulation or flexing. Most complaints are associated with performance of bolus thermodilution cardiac output procedures. This has led to instances of leakage, lumen damage and breakage and may lead to infection, medication loss, and/or blood loss. Published 2026-04-29.
