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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the hazard involves a risk-of-harm product (bacterial endotoxins causing fever and hypotension) where specific injury reports are not detailed in the source text, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.
Plain-English summary
Galt Medical Corporation is recalling 3,530 units of TVS LPA devices (Catalog #: DIL-059-00) under FDA recall number Z-2564-2018. The affected units are from Lot #17338821 and Lot #18019045.
The recall was initiated because the products might contain unsafe levels of bacterial endotoxins, also known as pyrogens, which were introduced during a manufacturing step. Bacterial endotoxins can activate the inflammatory process and produce fever, chills, and hypotension in a patient.
The affected devices were distributed in the United States (MN, PA, VA, CA, UT, FL, NY, GA, LA, MO, TX, MS, OH, WA, MA, IL, KY, NC, and Puerto Rico) and internationally (Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Switzerland, Belgium, United Kingdom, and Korea). Consumers and healthcare providers should check their inventory for these specific lot numbers and contact Galt Medical Corporation for further instructions.
