Plain-English summary

Cook Inc. is recalling 10 units of the Formula 418 Renal Balloon-Expandable Stent, Order Number G56611, Lot 10153876. The recall is due to reports that the stent dislodged from the balloon delivery system prior to deployment.

The affected devices were distributed domestically to Ohio, Iowa, Virginia, and North Carolina, as well as to Canada. The stent is made of 316L stainless steel and is pre-mounted on an over-the-wire balloon catheter.

Use of the affected product may lead to increased procedural time and the need for additional intervention to remove a stent that has dislodged within an unintended location. No injuries or illnesses have been reported in the source text.
