| Issue: | The manufacturer is providing clarification about the current labelling on two models of Atrium thoracic catheters. The Atrium thoracic catheters are packaged with a label containing an icon that depicts the product as having multiple eyelets. The graphical icon is designed to represent a generic thoracic catheter, and does not accurately reflect the actual eyelet configuration of the product contained in the package. The packaging is transparent allowing visualization of the actual number of eyelets on the thoracic catheter. |
