Cordis MAXI LD PTA Dilatation Catheter Recalled for Expired Component

Cordis Corporation is recalling 21 units of MAXI LD PTA Dilatation Catheters because they were manufactured using an expired inner body.

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, which typically indicates a situation where use of the product may cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences. The source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or deaths, and the hazard is a manufacturing deviation (expired component) rather than a known high-risk pathogen or structural defect causing immediate harm.
