EPIX Therapeutics recalls DiamondTemp Unidirectional Ablation Catheters due to incorrect size labeling on packaging and instructions, which may cause blood stagnation or clots. Affected units include all lots of the 7.5 French size catheter.
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.
