Reperfusion Catheter Recalled Due to Risk of Distal End Fracture

Imperative Care ZOOM 71 Reperfusion Catheters are recalled due to potential for distal end fracture and detachment. This FDA Class I recall affects units distributed nationwide.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: FDA Class I classification mandates a minimum score of 4. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported and the hazard is described as a potential, the Class I designation itself indicates a reasonable probability of serious adverse health consequences, precluding any score below 4.
