Angiodynamics recalls BIOFLO 8F ports due to snap lock connector issues that may delay implantation procedures. Affected units have specific model numbers and were sold for long-term central venous access.
Snap lock connectors provided within implantable port kits may not meet dimensional specifications, and the catheter cannot be inserted into the snap lock connector prior to connection to the port chamber, resulting in a delay to the implantation procedure.
Angiodynamics is recalling BIOFLO 8F ports because their snap lock connectors might not fit properly, which could delay the implantation procedure. This is a medical device used for long-term access to the central venous system.
The snap lock connectors in the port kits may not meet precise dimensional specifications. This means the catheter cannot be inserted into the connector before connecting to the port chamber, causing delays during implantation procedures.
