Merit Medical Recalls PreludeSYNC Radial Compression Devices Due to Valve Seal Defect
Merit Medical Systems is recalling 1,940 PreludeSYNC Radial Compression Devices because manufacturing particulates may prevent the inflation valve from sealing completely.
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: The recall is a voluntary field action for a manufacturing defect that may prevent a complete seal, but the source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity precautionary recall.
Plain-English summary

This sterile, single-use disposable device is used to assist in gaining and maintaining hemostasis of the radial and ulnar artery following catheterization procedures.
