| Issue: | The manufacturer is recalling specific models of unused DLP® Left Heart Vent Catheters, 16 Fr (model 12116) and 18 Fr (model 12118) due to the potential for a wire protrusion through the left heart vent catheter tip. If unnoticed prior to the procedure, this wire protrusion could lead to tissue damage (abrasion/perforation) and thereby to a longer duration of the procedure and/or surgical repair. |
