EPIX Therapeutics DiamondTemp Catheter Recalled for Labeling Errors

EPIX Therapeutics is recalling 13 DiamondTemp Unidirectional Ablation Catheters because packaging and instructions list incorrect sizes, posing a risk of blood clots or air emboli.

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 medical device with a labeling error that could result in serious harm (blood clots or air emboli), but no injuries or illnesses have been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

EPIX Therapeutics, Inc. is recalling 13 units of the DiamondTemp Unidirectional Ablation Catheter, Large Curve, 7.5 French Size (2.48 mm), Reference DT200L. The recall was initiated because the catheter size listed on the packaging labeling does not correspond to the widest part of the catheter, and the Instructions for Use (IFU) contain the incorrect diameter of the catheter.

The product was not distributed in the United States. It was distributed in Germany, Spain, France, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Slovenia, Italy, and Canada. The source text does not specify which lots are affected, though the structured data indicates "All Lots."

The incorrect labeling could result in blood stagnation, clots, or air emboli. Consumers and healthcare providers should stop using the affected devices and contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
