B Braun Interventional Coaxial Dilator Micro-Introducer Kits Recall

Galt Medical Corporation is recalling B Braun Interventional Coaxial Dilator Micro-Introducer Kits due to a potential open seal in the sterile barrier packaging. The affected kits are distributed nationwide in eight U.S. states and six countries.

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: This is an FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is a sterile barrier packaging defect that is theoretical in nature (potential compromised sterility); the source text does not indicate that any adverse health consequences have been documented.
