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: The recall involves a medical device with a mechanical defect that poses a risk of harm during use, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or illnesses, fitting the criteria for a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

AngioDynamics, Inc. is recalling 80 boxes of its Stiffened Micro-Introducer Kits. The affected products are the 4 F Stiffened Micro-Introducer Kit, 45CM SS/T ECHO B PG (Item Number H787065970465) and the 4 F Stiffened Micro-Introducer Kit, 45CM SS/T ECHO S PG (Item Number H787065970485). These kits are indicated for the percutaneous introduction of guidewires or catheters into the vascular system.

The recall is being conducted because Greatbatch Medical, the manufacturer of the 4F and 5F sheath/dilator components included in these kits, determined that the rotating luer has the potential to detach from the dilator hub during use. AngioDynamics confirmed that the affected Greatbatch sheath/dilators (Model Numbers 10904-001 and 10904-002) were included in the packaged AngioDynamics kits.

The affected lots are 5074174, 5043439, 5061389, and 5067424. The products were distributed nationwide to facilities in 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. Users should stop using the affected kits and contact the manufacturer for instructions on return or replacement.
