Hansen Medical Recalls Magellan Robotic Catheter Accessory Kits

Hansen Medical is recalling eight Magellan Robotic Catheter Accessory Kits because one batch was radiated below the required dose.

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. The source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations, and the hazard is a deviation from the required radiation dose specification rather than a confirmed high-risk pathogen or structural defect causing immediate harm.

Plain-English summary

Hansen Medical Inc is recalling eight Magellan Robotic Catheter Accessory Kits, models MACC 50 and MACC80. These kits contain disposable components used with the Magellan System, a robotic control system for cardiology procedures that allows physicians to position catheters and guide wires while remaining away from the x-ray radiation source.

The recall was initiated after the firm's quarterly dose audit testing revealed that one batch, identified by lot number 20151117, was radiated below the augmented dose. Consequently, the product did not meet the required augmented dose of 28.4 kGy.

The affected kits were distributed nationwide to Ohio, Texas, Florida, California, and Georgia. Consumers and healthcare facilities should stop using these specific kits and contact Hansen Medical Inc for further instructions or a replacement.
