Cordis Smart Control Vascular Stent Size Mismatch Recalled

Cordis recalled 20 units of its Smart Control Vascular Stent System ILIAC due to a labeling mix-up where the external label does not match the actual stent size. Wrong-sized stents could cause serious vessel complications if implanted.

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: FDA Class II recall of a medical device with a product size mismatch that poses a risk of serious harm (incorrect stent implantation could cause vessel damage or thrombosis). No hospitalizations or injuries have been reported, meeting the criterion for Score 3: risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Cordis US Corp has recalled 20 units of the Smart Control Vascular Stent System ILIAC, 10mm X 40mm, due to a product mix-up in which the stent's external labeling does not match the actual size of the device inside. The affected lot is 18298569. This labeling discrepancy poses a risk if a healthcare provider relies on the external label and implants a stent of incorrect size, which could compromise vessel integrity and patient safety.

The recalled stents were distributed to hospitals and healthcare facilities in Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, New Jersey, and Tennessee within the United States, as well as to facilities in Japan.

Healthcare providers who have received this product should immediately verify the actual stent size before implantation. Any providers who may have already implanted these stents should contact Cordis US Corp immediately to determine if corrective action is needed for affected patients.
