AngioDynamics Recalls Percutaneous Introducer Sets Due to Detachment Risk

AngioDynamics is recalling 162 boxes of Stiffened Micro-Introducer Kits because the rotating luer may detach from the dilator hub during use.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which is defined as unlikely to cause adverse health consequences, and no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

AngioDynamics, Inc. is recalling 162 boxes of Percutaneous Introducer Sets, specifically the 5 F Stiffened Micro-Introducer Kits. The affected products are identified by Item Numbers H787065970395 and H787065970415, and Catalog Numbers REF 06597039 and REF 06597041. These kits are indicated for the percutaneous introduction of guidewires or catheters into the vascular system following a small 21-gauge needle stick.

The recall was initiated because Greatbatch Medical, the manufacturer of the 4F and 5F sheath/dilator components, determined that the products have the potential for the rotating luer to detach from the dilator hub during use. AngioDynamics confirmed that the affected sheath/dilators (Greatbatch Model Numbers 10904-001 and 10904-002) were included in the packaged AngioDynamics Stiffened Micro-Introducer Kits.

The affected lots are 5046426, 5022317, 5032458, 5040672, 5046428, 5063983, and 5081983. The products were distributed nationwide to Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, New York, Maine, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Tennessee, and Texas. Healthcare facilities and consumers should stop using these products and contact AngioDynamics for further instructions.
