What the authority reported
Since March 2024, there has been an increase in complaints reported for the DLP malleable left heart vent catheter for the catheters resisting shape retention when being bent. The catheters are intended to be malleable and retain a bend in the shaft. It was determined that the primary supplier updated their specification to remove annealing process to attain tensile strength listed in ASTM1313-18.
What to do
Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
