Terumo Destination Renal Guiding Sheath Recalled for Missing Coating

Terumo Medical Corporation is recalling Destination Renal Guiding Sheaths because the distal end may lack the labeled 5 cm of coating, potentially making device navigation difficult.

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 source explicitly states that no complaints or patient-related incidents have been reported, and the hazard is a functional difficulty rather than a direct injury risk, fitting the Moderate criteria for low-risk issues without reported harm.

Plain-English summary

Terumo Medical Corporation is voluntarily recalling 5,252 units of Destination Renal Guiding Sheaths. The recall is due to an internal investigation and testing that revealed the distal end of certain lots may not contain the labeled 5 cm of coating. The affected lots are RN19, RN26, and RP03, identified by Terumo Product Code RSR01.

The lack of coating could render it difficult to navigate the device to the target vasculature. The product is intended for the introduction of interventional and diagnostic devices into the human vasculature. The recall covers units distributed nationwide.

There have been no complaints or patient-related incidents reported. Healthcare providers and facilities should stop using the affected lots and contact Terumo Medical Corporation for further instructions on the recall.
