Contego Medical recalls Neuroguard IEP 3-in-1 Carotid Stent System due to risk of filter not opening during operation, which could lead to embolic protection failure.
Carotid stent and post-dilation balloon system with integrated embolic protection system has an integrated filter that may not open or may not fully open during sheath retraction and operation of the filter knob. The stent is used with a primary distal embolic protection device.
Contego Medical is recalling its Neuroguard IEP 3-in-1 Carotid Stent System because the integrated filter might not open properly during use. This could cause embolic protection failure, potentially leading to serious complications during procedures.
The integrated filter in the system may not open or may not fully open when retracting the sheath and operating the filter knob. This could cause embolic protection to fail, potentially leading to blockages or complications in the carotid artery during procedures.
Healthcare professionals using the Neuroguard IEP 3-in-1 Carotid Stent System for carotid artery procedures are most at risk if the filter fails to open during operation.
