Merit Medical Systems Recalls Maestro Microcatheters Due to Label Graphic Discrepancy

What this means for you

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

Plain-English summary

Merit Medical Systems, Inc. is conducting a recall for 59 units of Maestro Microcatheters. The recall involves three specific lots: Catalog Number 28MC24110ST with Lot Number H548211, and Catalog Number 28MC24130SN with Lot Numbers H549598 or H553237.

The reason for the recall is a graphic discrepancy on the carton and box labels. Specifically, the catheter graphic displayed on the front of the carton box is correct, but the graphic on the end panel is incorrect and does not match the front. This is a labeling error rather than a defect in the catheter itself.

The affected products were distributed nationwide in the United States and internationally to Canada. The source text does not specify any reported illnesses, injuries, or adverse health consequences associated with this labeling discrepancy. Users should verify the catalog and lot numbers of their devices against the list provided in this notice.
