Cook Inc. Recalls Femoral Artery Pressure Monitoring Sets for Labeling Error

Cook Inc. is recalling 266 femoral artery pressure monitoring sets because the labels fail to state that the product is heparin-coated.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II and involves a labeling error regarding a heparin coating. As no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text, this fits the criteria for a moderate severity labeling issue.

Plain-English summary

Cook Inc. is voluntarily recalling 266 units of the Femoral Artery Pressure Monitoring Set (Catalog # C-PMS-300-CHILDRENS-A- 032988, all lots). The recall was initiated because the product labels do not state that the device is heparin-coated.

The affected products were distributed nationally. This labeling omission may prevent healthcare providers from being aware of the heparin coating, which could impact clinical decision-making regarding anticoagulation management.

Healthcare facilities and consumers should stop using the affected products and contact Cook Inc. for further instructions or a return.
