Diversatek Viper Wire Guided Balloon Dilator Inflation Tag Incorrect

Diversatek Healthcare is recalling Viper 3-Stage Wire Guided Balloon Dilators because the attached inflation tag may contain an incorrect part number with wrong balloon diameter sizes and inflation pressures.

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: This is an FDA Class II recall for a medical device with incorrect critical labeling information (balloon diameters and inflation pressures) that could lead to device misuse and patient harm if the labeling error is not caught. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries, so the harm is potential rather than realized.
