Sophysa S.A. is recalling approximately 6,662 Sophysa Pressio Ventricular Intracranial Pressure Monitoring Kits (Models PSO-VT and PSO-VTT) due to an increase in reports of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaking from the catheter. A manufacturing error caused small holes to be poked into the catheter's inner channel during assembly. If this leak is not noticed during the surgical implantation process, it can expose the patient to serious infections.
The perforated catheters allow brain fluid to leak out, creating a direct pathway for bacteria to enter the central nervous system, which could lead to life-threatening infections like meningitis. While no specific injury counts were provided, the recall was initiated following an increase in customer claims regarding these leaks.
