Quantum TTC Biliary Balloon Dilator Recalled for Balloon Detachment Risk

Wilson-Cook Medical is recalling QUANTUM TTC BILIARY BALLOON DILATORS due to nonconforming devices that may detach during use. Detachment could require endoscopic retrieval and carries a risk of bleeding.

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 recall with no reported illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations. The defect poses potential for serious harm during a medical procedure, fitting the criterion for high-risk products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Wilson-Cook Medical Inc. is recalling 218 units of the QUANTUM TTC BILIARY BALLOON DILATOR (Model QBD-6X3-E, Order Number G22765) distributed in the United States. These devices are used to dilate strictures of the biliary tree.

The recalled devices do not comply with their design requirements. The balloon may detach from the catheter during use. If detachment occurs, the balloon can become impacted in the biliary tree, potentially requiring endoscopic retrieval. Retrieval procedures carry a risk of bleeding complications. In some cases, a detached balloon may pass naturally without injury to the patient.
