Cook Incorporated is recalling 30 units of Roadrunner UniGlide Hydrophilic Wire Guides due to packaging failure that may compromise device sterility.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Devices): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 medical device where packaging integrity failure could compromise sterility. While no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the potential for serious infection in vascular procedures classifies this as a risk-of-harm product at High severity per the rubric.
