Why it was recalled

Affected lots may be manufactured incorrectly with the radiopaque marker band located just below the Check-Flo proximal fitting instead of the distal tip. The issue may not be identified until the device is placed in the patient and viewed under fluoroscopy, leading to increased procedural time.

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