Cook Roadrunner Hydrophilic Wire Guide Recalled for Potential Sterility Compromise

Cook Incorporated is recalling the Roadrunner UniGlide Hydrophilic Wire Guide due to failed packaging sterility testing. The device's sterility may be compromised.

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 may be compromised. While no illnesses or injuries have been reported and the hazard is potential rather than confirmed, a sterility failure in an invasive vascular device poses a meaningful risk of harm.
