Plain-English summary
Arrow International Inc is recalling 1918 units of the Arrow-Trerotola Over-The-Wire Percutaneous Thrombolytic Device (7FR, Product Code: PT-65709-WC). The device is used to mechanically remove blood clots from native arterio-venous fistulae and synthetic dialysis grafts.
The inner lumen (orange component) of the device basket can detach during use. When detachment occurs, it can lead to embolization—the formation or migration of blood clots within the patient's blood vessels. This condition requires additional emergency medical intervention to retrieve the clot and results in delay of the intended therapy.
The recalled units were distributed worldwide, including throughout the United States and to Belgium, Canada, Chile, Czech Republic, Germany, Spain, France, Israel, Italy, South Korea, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom. Affected lot numbers are listed in the FDA notice.
Facilities and healthcare providers should immediately cease use of the affected lots and contact Arrow International Inc for instructions regarding product return or replacement.
