FDA (Devices) recall action 96418
The FDA (Devices) publishes a recall like this one as 2 separate product records. They share a firm, a date and a cause; this page is all of them in one place, so the scale of the action is visible rather than spread across 2 pages.
product mix-up; Vascular stent labeled as one size but contains a different size.
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.

Cordis recalled 20 units of its Smart Control Vascular Stent System ILIAC due to a labeling mix-up where the external label does not match the actual stent size. Wrong-sized stents could cause serious vessel complications if implanted.
