Why these products were recalled

Certain models and lots of PORT A CATH implantable port kits may have been misassembled. The kits may incorrectly contain a 6Fr or 6.5Fr size introducer instead of the correct 8.5Fr size introducer. The Power PORT A CATH II kit may also contain the incorrect locking collars in addition to the incorrect sized introducer.

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.
