What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class I medical device recall, which indicates potential for serious adverse health consequences. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the defect involves a stroke-treatment device where component failure could significantly compromise patient outcomes.

Plain-English summary

Route 92 Medical Inc. is recalling 19 units of the Route 92 Medical 070 Reperfusion System (REF 1003), which is used in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke. The system is designed to introduce interventional devices into blood vessels in the brain and to remove blood clots.

The devices are subject to recall due to a potential defect: the distal tip may separate at the proximal marker band of the delivery catheters. A separated tip could affect the device's ability to function properly during medical procedures.

The affected devices have lot numbers 23112702 and 23112901 (UDI: 00853799007169) and were distributed across the United States and New Zealand.
