What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a high-risk medical device used for extracorporeal life support with manufacturing deficiencies (missing radiopaque material and inaccurate dimensions) that could impact clinical safety, but no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.
Plain-English summary
OriGen Biomedical, Inc. is recalling 241 units of the ECMO Reinforced Dual Lumen Cannula, 28Fr. (REF: VV28F). The affected devices are sterile and intended for use as a single cannula for both venous drainage and re-infusion of blood in the internal jugular vein during extracorporeal life support procedures.
The recall was initiated because the catheters may have two specific deficiencies: the omission of barium sulfate and an actual catheter tip length that is one centimeter shorter than what is printed on the tip. The affected lots include N18487, N18487-1, N18561-1, and R19169, with UDI 00816203022124.
The devices were distributed nationwide in the United States to numerous states and internationally to countries including Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Japan. Healthcare providers and facilities should check their inventory for these specific lot numbers and stop using the affected devices.
