Why these products were recalled

PFM Medical is recalling catheters and other medical devices because they may exceed USP limits for bacterial endotoxin.

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
