Bard Caliber Inflation Device Recalled for Pressure Limitations
Perouse Medical is recalling Bard Caliber inflation devices that may fail to reach required pressure, potentially delaying angioplasty procedures.
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 high-risk medical device where a functional defect (inability to reach required pressure) poses a risk of harm through incomplete inflation or procedure delay, but no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.
Plain-English summary
Perouse Medical is recalling 24,821 units of the Bard Caliber (CL3030) Inflation Device. This medical device is intended for use during cardiovascular angioplasty procedures to create, maintain, and monitor pressure in balloon catheters.
The recall was initiated because the device may be unable to raise pressure above 10 atm during the inflation phase. This limitation may result in incomplete inflation of the balloon catheter or a delay in the procedure. The affected units are identified by lot numbers beginning with 1403, 1404, 1405, 1406, or 1407.
The devices were distributed nationwide in the United States, specifically in the states of Arizona and Colorado. Healthcare facilities and users should stop using the affected devices and contact Perouse Medical for further instructions.
