Catheter Research Recalls Mislabeled HSG Trays and Catheters

Catheter Research, Inc. is recalling 880 HSG trays and catheters because the flexible and shapeable catheters were mislabeled on the packaging.

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, and the source text describes a labeling error without reporting any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations. This aligns with the rubric for moderate severity involving minor labeling errors or low-risk issues where harm has not been reported.

Plain-English summary

Catheter Research, Inc. is recalling 880 units of HSG Trays/HS 5F Catheter Combo and HSG Procedure Tray+ Shapeable 5F HSG catheter. These medical devices are used for hysterosonography and hysterosalpingography procedures for gynecological use.

The recall was initiated because the products were mislabeled. Trays containing the flexible HS catheter were labeled as containing the shapeable, stiffer HS catheter, and vice versa. This labeling error could lead to the use of the wrong catheter type during a procedure.

The affected products were distributed domestically in Minnesota, California, Ohio, Illinois, Florida, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, and Virginia. No foreign distribution or distribution to DOD/VA facilities is reported. Consumers and healthcare providers should stop using these products and contact the manufacturer for instructions on return or replacement.
