Cook Inc. Recalls CrossCath Support Catheters Due to Marker Band Fit Issues

Cook Inc. is recalling 58 CrossCath Support Catheters because a manufacturing error may cause radiopaque marker bands to be too loose or too tight.

What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class I, which is by definition unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The source text does not report any injuries or illnesses, and the defect is a manufacturing fit issue rather than a direct safety hazard like a fracture or contamination.
