AngioDynamics Recalls Percutaneous Introducer Sets Due to Detachment Risk

AngioDynamics is recalling 751 Stiffened Micro-Introducer Kits because a component may detach during use.

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 injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

AngioDynamics, Inc. is recalling 751 units of its Stiffened Micro-Introducer Kits. The recall involves specific 4 F Stiffened Micro-Introducer Kits distributed nationwide to 25 states. The affected products include Item Numbers H787065970505, H787065970525, and H787065970545.

The recall is due to a defect in the 4F and 5F sheath/dilator components manufactured by Greatbatch Medical. Greatbatch determined that the rotating luer on these components has the potential to detach from the dilator hub during use. AngioDynamics confirmed that these affected sheath/dilators (Greatbatch Model Numbers 10904-001 and 10904-002) were included in the packaged AngioDynamics kits.

The affected products are indicated for the percutaneous introduction of a guidewire or catheter into the vascular system following a small 21-gauge needle stick. The source text does not specify specific instructions for consumers or healthcare providers regarding the immediate handling of these devices.
