Plain-English summary
Inari Medical is updating instructions for the ClotTriever XL Catheter (30 mm, REF 41-102), a component of the ClotTriever Thrombectomy System. The recall affects approximately 2,488 units distributed worldwide, including across all U.S. states and several international locations. All lot numbers are included.
The catheter instructions are being updated to prevent potential adverse events that could occur if the catheter bag becomes overloaded with thrombus material or if the catheter is improperly positioned—either pulled through the internal jugular vein access site or not adequately withdrawn from the heart. These complications may result in device entrapment, pulmonary embolism, or the need for surgical intervention.
Healthcare providers and facilities using this device should obtain and review the updated instructions (IU-01011 REV. C) for proper catheter handling, positioning, and removal. Patients who have received treatment with this device should consult their healthcare provider if they experience symptoms suggestive of vascular complications.
