Bard Conquest PTA Balloon Catheter Recalled for Incorrect Balloon Size
Bard Peripheral Vascular Inc is recalling 281 units of the Conquest PTA Balloon Dilation Catheter because some units contain a 5mm balloon instead of the labeled 6mm size.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text explicitly states the potential consequence is 'inconsequential prolongation' and no injuries are reported, fitting the criteria for a moderate risk of harm where injury has not yet been reported or is minor.

Bard Peripheral Vascular Inc is recalling 281 units of the Bard Conquest PTA Balloon Dilation Catheter, 6mm x 40mm, 75 cm (Cat. No. CQ7564, Lot No. REDU2646). The recall is due to a packaging error where the catheter was packaged with a 5mm x 40mm balloon instead of the 6mm x 40mm balloon stated on the labeling.
