Why these products were recalled

The catheter may become susceptible to distal tip damage during use. Distal tip damage in conjunction with pressurization of contrast injection may result in potential vessel damage, and subsequent patient injury or death.

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.
