Volcano PV .035 Catheter Recalled for Incorrect Shelf Life Labeling
Volcano Corporation is recalling 162 PV .035 Catheters because they were labeled with incorrect shelf life dates during a relabeling procedure.
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 classified as FDA Class II, but the hazard is a minor labeling error regarding shelf life dates without reported injuries or illnesses, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.
Plain-English summary
Volcano Corporation is recalling 162 units of the Volcano PV .035 Catheter (Part number 88901, Lot number 50002518). The device is indicated for use in the evaluation of vascular morphology in blood vessels of the peripheral vasculature by providing a cross-sectional image of such vessels. The recall involves products distributed nationwide in the United States and to one account in Canada.
The recall was initiated because, during a relabeling procedure at the manufacturing facility, the products were labeled with a shelf life in accordance with the date of the relabeling rather than the original shelf life date at the time of manufacture. This labeling error may result in the use of devices past their intended expiration date.
Healthcare providers and facilities that have received these devices should stop using them and contact Volcano Corporation for further instructions on how to return or dispose of the affected units.
