Stryker‘s neurovascular division this month released a recall notice for Boston Scientific‘s Guider guide catheter it distributes over issues with an incomplete seal that could lead to blood loss.
Both companies are coordinating to enable the recall and return of affected products, according to the recall release.
No deaths or adverse events were reported with the recall, according to the notice, with the most severe potential effect being identified as insignificant blood loss after device introduction. No patients previously treated with the device are at risk, according to the release.
