Cook recalls Flexor Check-Flo Introducers with specific lot numbers due to increased risk of sheath separation during use, which could cause life-threatening complications like vessel injury or hemorrhage.
There is an increased likelihood of the introducer sheath separating at the proximal bond site. If separation occurs during use, it could result in life-threatening adverse events. The potential adverse events that may occur include, but are not limited to increased procedural time, intervention to retrieve a separated segment, embolization occluding blood flow to a vital organ, vessel injury, and hemorrhage.
Cook is recalling Flexor Check-Flo Introducers with certain lot numbers because the sheath may separate during use, potentially causing life-threatening events such as vessel injury or hemorrhage. This recall affects medical devices used in vascular procedures.
