Recall details
- Recalling firm
- Medical Components, Inc dba MedComp
- Reason for recall
- The 5F Dignity CT Port kits were packaged with the incorrect size port. The kits include a 6.6F port instead of the correct 5F port. The inability to connect the catheter lumen to the port stem because of the incorrect size may not be noted until well into the procedure, after the catheter lumen is placed in the vessel. An alternate port will need to be obtained prolonging the procedure. A prolonged insertion procedure increases any risk associated with a surgical procedure.
- Action taken
- On 1/13/2021 and 02/10/2021, Medical Components issued an Urgent Medical Device Removal notification to customers via letter notifying customers the 5F Dignity CT Port kits were packaged with the incorrect size port. The kits include a 6.6F port instead of the correct 5F port. (updated 3/11/2021)
