✎ GovInfoNow plain-language explainer

What happened, in plain English

Cook is recalling Coons Interventional Wire Guides because the product label does not state it is heparin-coated. This could lead to improper use if the coating is needed for blood thinning during medical procedures.

Why it’s dangerous

The wire guide is designed to be heparin-coated to prevent blood clotting during medical procedures. If the coating is missing, it could cause blood clots or complications during use. However, the hazard is not described as causing serious injury in normal use.

Who’s affected

Healthcare professionals using the Coons Interventional Wire Guides for medical procedures are most at risk. Patients receiving these devices may also be affected if the coating is critical for their treatment.
