Why it was recalled

Firm has identified that the product may be at risk of incorrectly containing a tunneler with a barb tip meant to attach to a 6Fr catheter instead of the correct barb tip for a 9.6Fr catheter. This can result in a prolongation of operation.

Class II means using this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; the chance of serious harm is remote.
