Introducer Kit-Tearaway MicroSlide Medical Device Recall

Galt Medical Corporation is recalling Introducer Kit-Tearaway MicroSlide devices used to introduce catheters into blood vessels due to a potential open seal in the sterile barrier packaging. The affected units may not maintain sterility, creating a risk of infection.

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 recall of a sterile medical device where the sterile barrier has potentially been compromised. The hazard (loss of sterility) creates a risk of serious infection in invasive cardiovascular procedures; no reported illnesses are mentioned in the source, but the risk of harm to patients is significant and inherent to the hazard itself.

Plain-English summary

Galt Medical Corporation is recalling Introducer Kit-Tearaway MicroSlide devices (catalog numbers KIT-051-01 and INT-101-15) due to a potential open seal in the sterile barrier packaging. These introducers are used in procedures to introduce catheters and other intravascular devices into the coronary and peripheral blood vessels of adult and pediatric patients of all ages.

A total of 490 units have been distributed nationwide in the United States (AL, FL, GA, IL, MA, OH, PA, and UT), as well as internationally to Canada, Ireland, Israel, Korea, Qatar, and the United Kingdom. The affected lot numbers are 24298473, 24190504 (for KIT-051-01), and 24284447 (for INT-101-15).

If you have received or are using any affected units, do not use them. Contact Galt Medical Corporation directly for instructions on return or replacement of the recalled devices. A compromised sterile barrier may allow microbial contamination, which could lead to serious infection if used in clinical procedures.
