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.

Plain-English summary

Wilson-Cook Medical Inc. is recalling 157 units of the Quantum TTC Biliary Balloon Dilator (Model QBD-8X3-E, Order Number G22766) distributed in the United States. This medical device is used to dilate strictures (narrowing) of the biliary tree during endoscopic procedures.

The recalled devices were manufactured correctly but do not comply with their design requirements. The primary concern is that the balloon may detach from the catheter during use. When detachment occurs, potential consequences include endoscopic retrieval of the device, bleeding from the retrieval procedure, or the balloon may pass naturally without causing injury.

Healthcare providers who have these devices should stop using them immediately. The recall involves 38 specific lot numbers. Providers with questions should contact Wilson-Cook Medical Inc. or the FDA.
