Why it was recalled

It has been identified that the catheter size on the packaging labeling does not correspond to the widest part of the catheter. In addition the IFU contains the incorrect diameter of the catheter. This could result in blood stagnation, clots or air emboli.

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