Vascular wire guides recalled due to potential sterility compromise
Cook Incorporated is recalling 5,400 Roadrunner UniGlide Hydrophilic Wire Guides because the devices failed packaging tests required to verify sterility. The affected devices are used in diagnostic and interventional vascular procedures.
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: This is a Class II medical device recall where sterility—a critical property for devices used in vascular procedures—may be compromised due to failed packaging testing. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported and the risk is theoretical, the potential harm from non-sterile vascular catheters in clinical use meets the rubric for High severity.
