Merit Medical Systems, Inc. is recalling the Philips Bridge Prep Kit (model numbers K12-09098B and K12-09098C) because the catheter may experience resistance when being moved over the guidewire during use. This issue can complicate medical procedures and potentially cause delays or internal injuries. These kits are sterile medical devices used in clinical settings and were distributed in Colorado.
Resistance during catheter advancement can cause the device to get stuck or fail to reach its intended destination, which may result in vessel damage, internal bleeding, or prolonged procedure time while the device is removed and replaced.
