Why these products were recalled

An increase in claims related to leakage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the proximal end of the catheter. In the event of a leak going undetected during implantation, it could pose an infectious risk to the patient. The cause of the leaks is indicated to be manufacturing error involving perforation of the inner channel of the catheter during stylet insertion.

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.
