Recall details

Recalling firm

Alpha Omega Services Inc

Reason for recall

There is a possibility that the diameter of the catheter does not meet specifications. As a result it may not be possible to correctly connect the catheter to a VariSource Quick Connect. This would prevent any treatment. Furthermore, since the problem would not be apparent until after the catheter has been implanted an unnecessary surgical implantation procedure would have taken place.
