Why it was recalled

Certain models and lots of PORT A CATH implantable port kits may have been misassembled. The kits may incorrectly contain a 6Fr or 6.5Fr size introducer instead of the correct 8.5Fr size introducer. The Power PORT A CATH II kit may also contain the incorrect locking collars in addition to the incorrect sized introducer.

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