Sophysa S.A.: Pressio Ventricular Monitoring Kits Recalled for Catheter Leakage

Agency Publication Date: May 15, 2024

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

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.

Risk

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.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if you have the Sophysa Pressio Ventricular Intracranial Pressure Monitoring Kit by checking the packaging for Model/Catalog Numbers PSO-VT or PSO-VTT.
  2. Check the serial numbers on your device against the extensive list of affected units, which includes 3,487 units of model PSO-VT (UDI-DI 03760124131482) and 3,175 units of model PSO-VTT (UDI-DI 3760124132922).
  3. Verify if your unit is part of the specific U.S. distribution, particularly if you are located in Arizona, New York, or Texas, where 41 units of model PSO-VTT were distributed.
  4. Immediately stop using any affected kits that have not yet been implanted and quarantine them to prevent surgical use.
  5. Contact your healthcare provider or the manufacturer, Sophysa S.A., to discuss the risks if you or a patient has already received an implant from an affected lot.
  6. Follow the manufacturer's specific instructions for returning the recalled kits and obtaining a replacement or further technical guidance.
  7. For additional questions, contact the FDA at 1-888-463-6332 or visit the official medical device recall website at www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-recalls.
