Action taken

The firm distributed an Urgent Medical Device Removal notification, by mail, dated August 5, 2022. The notification informs customers that certain lots of 8Fr. 50cc IAB catheter and insertion kits are being recalled due to an undersized vessel dilator. During a sheathless insertion, the undersized inner diameter may result in the inability to insert the guidewire through the inner lumen of the dilator and the undersized outer diameter may reduce dilation of the vessel. If used in a procedure, recalled product could result in a procedural delay, gas emoli, and vessel injury. Customers are asked to examine their inventory to determine if they have nay recalled product and to quarantine any affected units. Customers with recalled product are to contact Datascope Corp./Getinge Customer Service at 888-9GETUSA (888-943-8872, option 2) between the hours of 8 AM and 6 PM to request a return authorization number to receive full credit.
