Reason for recall
Spectranetics Corporation announces a voluntary field action for the Turbo Elite Atherectomy Catheter, ELCA Coronary Atherectomy Catheter, and Bridge Occlusion Balloon due to potentially compromised integrity of the outer sterile packaging.
A sterility recall means a product that must be sterile, such as an injection or eye drop, may be contaminated. Using a non-sterile product can cause serious infection.
