Why these products were recalled

Product balloon issues: inflating, deflating and/or retrieving the devices; reports of bursting and leaking and events involving foreign body in patient and prolonged procedure.

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.
