Applied Medical Resources recalls Python Embolectomy Catheters due to tip separation during use, potentially exposing patients to unintended dislodgement. Affected models and lots listed in the recall.
The firm has received reports of tip separation during usage of the catheters, which may expose patients to unintended dislodgement of the tip from the body of the catheter.

The catheters can separate during use, potentially causing the tip to dislodge from the body. This could lead to unintended dislodgement of the tip from the patient's body during medical procedures, risking complications.
