✎ GovInfoNow plain-language explainer

What happened, in plain English

Cook is recalling a specific connecting tube used in angiography procedures due to a risk of fluid leakage or air aspiration. This could lead to complications during medical procedures if the tube is not properly secured.

Why it’s dangerous

The cap-adapter assembly might not be tightened enough, causing fluid to leak out or air to enter the tube. This could lead to complications during medical procedures like contrast injections or pressure monitoring.

Who’s affected

Healthcare professionals using the connecting tube during angiography procedures are most at risk. Patients receiving the tube for contrast injections or monitoring may also be affected.

How to tell if you have this one

Check for the model HPCT8.8-80-M-FM on the tube. Affected lots are 7844043, 7898128, 7940347, and NS7904210. The tube is used to connect radiographic contrast injectors to catheters.
