Reported risk: An issue was identified with the stiffer coaxial micro-introducer 4FR and 5FR after a field complaint reported that the rotating luer detached from the dilator hub during use. The function of the rotating luer is to fasten the dilator to the shield during insertion. Affected lots have an outer diameter of the dilator hub that is slightly smaller than is capable of securing the dilator to the sheath.
Verify each fact at the issuing agency before acting. Recall scope, affected lots, and remediation instructions may be updated by the agency after our last sync.
