Terumo SOLOPATH Re-Collapsible Access System Recalled for Tip Dislodgement Risk

Terumo Medical Corporation is recalling 1,431 SOLOPATH Re-Collapsible Access Systems because the tip may dislodge from the sheath, potentially compromising the device's smooth transition.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Devices): Class I

Class I is a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classified this recall as Class I — a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. On that classification alone this is scored Severe; a score of Critical is reserved for recalls where a death or serious injury was reported. The agency gives the reason as: "There is a potential for dislodgement of the tip from the outer diameter of the sheath resulting in a loss of the smooth transition from the surface of the tip to the outer surface of the expandable sheath."
