Soft-Vu Angiographic Catheter Cobra Non-Braided recalled by Angiodynamics

Angiodynamics is recalling Soft-Vu Angiographic Catheter, Cobra (2), Non-Braided devices due to a manufacturing defect that may prevent guidewires from passing through the catheter hub.

What this means for you

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: The FDA classified this as a Class II recall. The defect prevents proper guidewire passage but no injuries or hospitalizations are reported in the source text. The risk is operational failure rather than an inherent material or pathogenic hazard.
