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 risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the criteria for a High severity score.

Plain-English summary

Prytime Medical Devices, Inc. is recalling the PRYTIME MEDICAL REBOA Catheter Introducer Kit (REF: KT1835C). The recall is due to a potential manufacturing error where the kit may contain a 21G access needle instead of the correct 18G needle.

If the incorrect 21G needle is used to gain vascular access, the guidewire included in the kit will not pass through the needle. This failure prevents the insertion of the introducer sheath, which could cause a delay in the procedure or result in injury to the patient.

The affected product was distributed nationwide in the United States, including in states such as New Jersey, New York, California, Texas, and others. No specific lot numbers or dates are provided in the source text. Healthcare providers and consumers should check their inventory for this specific kit and contact Prytime Medical Devices for instructions on how to return the product.
