The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) advises that certain lots of the Trident Catheter Valve (Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) number 107139) are being recalled.

The Trident Catheter Valve is used for connecting a urinary catheter to an overnight drainage bag. It gives users the opportunity to retrain the bladder and reduce the reliance on urine bags.

The recall is being conducted because a routine sterility test on the Trident Catheter Valve in a particular set of lots has failed. This raised concerns that the valves in these lots may not be sterile.

To date, no Trident catheter valve - Model Number: 380851
