Reason for recall
The affected devices contain a manufacturing defect which may prevent the appropriately sized guidewire from passing through the inner diameter (ID) of the catheter hub.
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.
