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 medical device recall involving confirmed mechanical failure (swivel rod separation) in a vascular graft. Although no injuries or hospitalizations are reported, the separation of a critical surgical device poses a risk of harm to affected patients, fitting the rubric criterion for high-severity risk-of-harm products without reported injury.
Plain-English summary
Atrium Medical Corporation is recalling FLIXENE 4-7X30 2GDS GWT-GW double-ended slider GDS vascular grafts due to reported separation of the Slider GDS Swivel Rod from the Swivel Core, with a notable gap between the two pieces.
Vascular grafts are medical devices used in surgical procedures to replace or bypass damaged blood vessels. When the swivel rod separates from the swivel core, the device may not function as intended, potentially compromising the integrity of the graft.
The recalled devices were distributed worldwide to medical facilities in the United States (including Puerto Rico) and 58 other countries. A total of 53,308 units were affected, including 11,236 units distributed in the US.
Patients who have received this device should contact their healthcare provider immediately. Healthcare providers should discontinue use of affected inventory and contact Atrium Medical Corporation for replacement instructions.
