✎ GovInfoNow plain-language explainer

What happened, in plain English

Cook is recalling Movable Core Wire Guide products because the label does not state that the product is heparin-coated. This could lead to improper use if the heparin coating is necessary for safe medical procedures.

Why it’s dangerous

The product is designed to be heparin-coated to prevent blood clots during medical procedures. If the label does not state this coating, users might not know it's missing, potentially causing complications.

Who’s affected

Medical professionals using the Movable Core Wire Guide for procedures are likely affected. Patients receiving these devices may be at risk if the heparin coating is missing.

How to tell if you have this one

Check the product's catalog numbers: TCMTNA-/-BH, TMT-/-BH, TSFNA-/-BH, or affected lot ranges listed in the recall notice.
