What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary
Cook Inc. is recalling 9,519 units of the Shuttle Select Slip-Cath Catheter, an angiographic catheter used in medical procedures to deliver contrast media and help diagnose occlusion or stenosis. The recall covers specific product numbers including SCBR4.5-35-35-135-P-NS-ANG-SHTL and related variants.
The recall was initiated due to reports of catheter tip splits and separation. These defects can lead to a loss of device function, require medical intervention to retrieve the separated segment, or cause complications if the separated tip occludes blood flow to end organs.

The affected devices were distributed worldwide, including in the United States (nationwide including Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands) and numerous international locations. Consumers and healthcare providers should stop using the affected catheters and contact Cook Inc. for further instructions.
