Reason for recall
Marker bands may be at an increased risk of cracking/breakage. Potential adverse events that may result include increased procedural time, harms associated with device fragmentation/separation, and vessel injury. In a worst-case scenario, device fragmentation and separation may cause life-threatening harm or death.
Device recalls are issued when a component, software or design fault could cause the device to fail or give wrong readings. Many are corrections applied in the field rather than physical returns.
