Plain-English summary
Cook Inc. is recalling 3,425 units of the White Lumax Guiding Coaxial Catheter, a percutaneous catheter intended for the delivery of angioplasty balloons and other interventional devices. The recall covers all lots, specifically catalog/product number LMGRF-7.0C-80-MPA-PULM G11164. The devices were distributed nationwide in the United States and internationally to numerous countries.
The recall is being conducted due to an increase in reports of polymer degradation at the catheter tip, which can result in tip fracture and/or separation. This degradation can lead to a loss of device function or the separation of a device segment, potentially requiring additional medical intervention.
Complications from separated segments may include device fragments remaining in the vascular system, genitourinary system, or other soft tissues. Fragments within the vascular system could result in embolization to the heart or lungs, or occlusion of blood flow to end organs. The source text does not specify instructions for consumers or healthcare providers regarding the immediate handling of these devices.
