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: FDA Class II medical device recall with potential for serious harm including bleeding and need for endoscopic intervention; however, no illnesses or injuries have been reported, keeping the score at High rather than Severe.
Plain-English summary
Wilson-Cook Medical Inc. has recalled 731 QUANTUM TTC Biliary Balloon Dilator devices (Model QBD-10X3, Order Number G22657) distributed in the United States. The balloons are used to dilate strictures (narrowing) of the biliary tree during endoscopic procedures.
The recalled devices do not comply with their design requirements despite being manufactured correctly. The primary concern is that the balloon may detach from the catheter during use. If this occurs, the detached balloon could remain in the patient's bile duct.
If a balloon detaches, medical intervention may be necessary. Physicians may need to perform endoscopic retrieval to remove the object. This retrieval procedure carries the risk of bleeding complications. In some cases, the object may pass naturally without injury.
Consumers and healthcare providers should stop using these devices immediately. Contact Wilson-Cook Medical Inc. for instructions on device replacement and handling. Specific lot numbers are listed in the FDA recall notice.
