SOFT-VU KUMPE Catheters Recalled for Mislabeled Inner Pouch

Angiodynamics is recalling SOFT-VU KUMPE 5F X 65CM angiographic catheters (595 boxes nationwide) because inner pouch labels may show information for a different catheter model while shelf-box labels are correct.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Devices): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).

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: FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses, injuries, or deaths. The hazard is a labeling discrepancy that could cause misuse, but no actual harm has been documented.

Plain-English summary

Angiodynamics, Inc. is recalling SOFT-VU KUMPE 5F X 65CM catheters, which are used for angiographic diagnosis. The recall affects 595 boxes distributed nationwide.

The issue is mislabeling of the inner pouch. While the shelf-box labeling correctly identifies the product and catheter length, the inner pouch label may contain information for a different catheter model with a different length. This discrepancy could lead healthcare providers to select or use an incorrect catheter length.

Healthcare providers and facilities with affected units should verify inner pouch labeling before use. Products with conflicting or questionable labeling should not be used. Contact Angiodynamics, Inc. for instructions regarding affected product disposition.
