Angiodynamics, Inc. is recalling 19,423 Mini Stick Max guidewire introducers used in surgical procedures to help insert wires into the vascular system. A manufacturing defect has caused some devices to have blockages (voids) in the internal path of the sheath hub, which can prevent the guidewire from passing through. This defect requires doctors to stop the procedure and exchange the faulty device, leading to surgical delays and potential complications for the patient. These devices were distributed worldwide between January 30, 2024, and the present.
The internal pathway of the introducer hub may contain physical obstructions that block the guidewire from moving forward during surgery. This can cause a delay in critical medical procedures while medical staff locate and prepare a replacement device, increasing the time a patient is under surgical conditions.
Device exchange and procedure delay mitigation.
