Oscor Medical Sheath Recall Due to Inner Liner Fragmentation

Oscor, Inc. is recalling eight Adelante Breezeway sheaths because a fragment of the inner liner detached during insertion, posing a risk of device failure.

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 structural defect in a medical device used for cardiac procedures. While no injuries are reported, the risk of device failure during a high-risk procedure places this in the 'High' category per the rubric for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Oscor, Inc. is voluntarily recalling eight units of the OSCOR ADELANTE BREEZEWAY 10F C120¿ S61CM D66CM sheath, Catalog # AB101075. This medical device is designed to facilitate the introduction of catheters to any of the heart chambers, including the left atrium via a transseptal puncture.

The recall was initiated after a complaint reported that during the insertion of the dilator through the sheath, a fragment of the inner liner came out of the sheath prior to use. This defect could compromise the integrity of the device during a medical procedure.
