Recall of Cook Medical’s Sizing Catheters
Sizing catheters, made in many different lengths and configurations, are used to address a range of patients’ angiographic procedures, aortic interventions, peripheral interventions and vascular interventions. These catheters have marker bands that are used to appropriately orient the catheter within a patient’s body. The tips come in “straight,” “PIG,” and “VCF,” and the catheters can be up to 100 cm. Recently, the manufacturer Cook Medical sent a letter to impacted customers that recommended specific sizing catheters be removed from their sales point or site of usage. The affected catheters are the Centimeter Sizing Catheters, the Aurous Centimeter Sizing Catheters, and the Beacon Tip Centimeter Sizing Catheters. Cook Medical has advised that the affected sizing catheters should not be used. The FDA has since issued a recall. If you or a loved one was injured by a sizing catheter, call the seasoned Chicago-based lawyers of Moll Law Group. Billions have been recovered in cases with which we’ve been involved around the nation.

On April 2, Cook Medical sent out a letter to tell affected customers that they should examine their inventory to figure out whether they had affected products and quarantine those affected products that weren’t already used. The company had found that the marker bands on specific catheters could be at an increased risk of breaking or cracking.
Customers were also told not to distribute or use whatever was remaining of the affected products. Adverse events related to the sizing catheters can be reported to Cook Medical Customer Relations by phone at 800.457.4500 or 812.339.2235, Monday through Friday between 7:30am and 5:00pm (Eastern Time), or by email to: CustomerRelationsNA@CookMedical.com.
