Action: Abiomed issued URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE RECALL (REMOVAL) Letter Products Impacted: Introducer Kit for Impella (sold within Impella Pump sets and Individually Packaged) Axillary Introducer Kits on 11/7/23. Letter states reason for recall, health risk and action to take: IF AN IMPELLA PUMP IS CLINICALLY NEEDED, ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN BY THE USER: 1. Prior to usage, carefully examine the outer pouch of the Introducer Kit for holes following the provided instructions in Attachment 2. 2. For non-trayed introducers (Part Numbers 0052-3006): IF THERE IS ANY SUSPICION OF THIS TYPE OF PACKAGING DAMAGE, REFRAIN FROM USING THE PRODUCT. 3. For trayed introducers with an inner tray package (Part Numbers 0052-3014, 0052-3015, 0052-3021, 0052-3052, 0052-3046, 0052-3025, 0052-3056, 2000342, 0052-3053): Consider that while the outside surface of the tray is non-sterile, the introducers inside the tray are considered sterile. After removing the inner tray from the outer pouch, avoid introducing it to the sterile field. Instead, employ sterile technique to open the inner tray, preserving its interior sterility. a. Transfer the contents from the inner tray to the sterile field following your institution s sterile field management protocol, ensuring no contact with the outer surface to prevent contamination. b. The inner tray must remain separate from the sterile field and should be discarded once all components of the introducer kit have been extracted. 4. If used, document the use on the Business Request Form at the end of this letter. Please contact Abiomed s Clinical Support Center, 1-800-422-8666, if you need any support troubleshooting or if you have any further questions.

About this record

Sourced from the FDA device recall database and the FDA enforcement reports, both ingested from openFDA. The recall record supplies the product, the reason and the product code; the enforcement report supplies the classification. The two datasets are exported by FDA on different days, and the date above is the older of the two, so nothing on this page is newer than it says.

MDM adds the root cause tag, derived from FDA’s own root cause text, and the cross-links to the product code, the clearances named on the record and MDM coverage. Where a recall has not been joined to an enforcement report, no classification is shown.
