Why these products were recalled

During IAB catheter insertion, the introducer dilator may fracture at the hub, leaving the body of the introducer dilator housed within the sheath. Risks to health include damage to the femoral artery, descending aorta, or embolization; surgical intervention and delay of IAB therapy may also result. Firm has received 10 complaints, including 3 serious adverse events and 1 patient 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.
