A vascular guidewire introducer is recalled because internal voids in the hub may prevent proper guidewire passage, potentially delaying surgical 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: This FDA Class II recall involves a risk-of-harm medical device used in vascular surgery with no reported hospitalizations or injuries. Per the rubric, risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported receive a score of 3.
Plain-English summary
Angiodynamics, Inc. is recalling 15 units of the MINI STICK MAX 5F X 10 CM STIFF .018 SS/PD ECHO 2.75" PG guidewire introducer due to a manufacturing defect. The device is used to introduce guidewires into the vascular system during percutaneous medical procedures.
The recalled units contain voids in the internal lumen of the sheath hub. These voids may prevent the guidewire from passing through the introducer hub during surgical procedures. If the guidewire cannot pass through, the medical professional may need to exchange the sheath to complete the surgical case, resulting in procedural delays.
The affected units have been distributed worldwide to the United States and the countries of Austria, Canada, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Spain, Hong Kong, Kuwait, Netherlands, Norway, New Zealand, and South Africa. The recalled lot number is 5805060.
Healthcare facilities should verify their current inventory against the affected lot number and ensure no units are used. Affected users should contact Angiodynamics, Inc. for further guidance on replacement or return procedures.
