Plain-English summary

Angiodynamics, Inc. is recalling 455 units of DURAFLOW 2, 24CM STRAIGHT BASIC KIT (lot numbers 5807192 and 5807197, UDI-DI: 25051684014738). This device is used to establish long-term vascular access for hemodialysis and apheresis procedures.

The Tri-Ball Tunneler component of the device may contain loosely affixed metal shavings.

If this occurs, surgical intervention may be necessary to remove the material.

The 455 recalled units were distributed in Virginia. This is a Class II recall from the FDA.
