Why these products were recalled

Multiple complaints were received for balloons bursting below the rated burst pressure. Potential adverse events that may occur if an affected product is used include a delay in the procedure, additional intervention, vessel injury, and balloon fragmentation in the patient.

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.
