Microvention Inc. is recalling 107 units of the Headway 17 Advanced Straight Microcatheter with Hydrophilic Coating. These medical devices are being recalled because the inner packaging may have an incomplete sterility seal, which could compromise the sterile environment required for medical procedures. Consumers should stop using the affected products immediately and contact the manufacturer or their distributor to arrange for a return or replacement.
An incomplete seal on the microcatheter packaging can allow bacteria and other contaminants to enter the device. If a non-sterile catheter is used during a procedure, it poses a significant risk of infection or other serious health complications for the patient.
Microvention brand; Quantity: 107 units.
