Plain-English summary
Atrium Medical Corporation is recalling 620 units of Atrium 36Fr Right Angled Firm PVC Thoracic Catheters (Part Number 15236). The recall involves 62 cases, with 10 units per case. The affected units are from Lot Number ME215673, with an expiration date of 09/2019.
The recall was initiated because the inner pouches were incorrectly labeled. The pouches were labeled as part 8136, which corresponds to a 36Fr Right Angled Thermosensitive PVC catheter, but the actual product inside is the 36Fr Right Angled Firm PVC Catheter (Part Number 15236).
