Vascular Solutions Recalls GrebSet Micro-Introducer Kits Due to Shelf Life Discrepancy
Vascular Solutions is recalling 633 units of GrebSet Micro-Introducer Kits because the guidewires have a shorter shelf life than the kit expiration date.
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, which typically involves a temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequence. The hazard is a labeling/shelf-life discrepancy rather than a direct contamination or structural failure, fitting the Moderate criteria for minor labeling errors or low-risk issues.
Plain-English summary
Vascular Solutions, Inc. is recalling 633 units of the GrebSet Micro-Introducer Kit, model 7941. The recall involves four specific lot numbers: 581212, 584392, 594115, and 597202. These kits are intended to facilitate the percutaneous placement of guidewires in the vascular system and for the delivery of contrast media to vascular sites.
The recall was initiated because the guidewires contained in these kits have a shelf life that is shorter than the expiration date listed on the kit. This discrepancy could result in the use of expired guidewires if the kit expiration date is relied upon exclusively.
The affected products were distributed nationwide in the United States, specifically in the states of New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, New York, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, California, Iowa, Washington, Oregon, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Idaho, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Wisconsin, Georgia, Florida, Arkansas, Ohio, and Arizona.
