Angiodynamics is recalling 65 units of its MINI STICK MAX guidewire introducer sheath due to manufacturing defects that may prevent guidewires from passing through during surgical procedures.
What this means for you

Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is a manufacturing defect causing procedural delays and equipment exchange, not direct patient harm.
