VENOVO 9F Venous Stent System incomplete deployment and delivery system retention

Bard Peripheral Vascular recalls VENOVO Venous Stent System 9F due to reports that the proximal end fails to expand immediately upon deployment and remains connected to the delivery system.

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 an FDA Class II device malfunction affecting an implantable stent system. The failure to expand and detachment of the proximal end creates risk of serious harm through inadequate vessel support and potential thrombosis. No hospitalizations or injuries are reported in the source text.
