Recall record

Recall number: Z-2221-2025
Classification: Class II
Status: Open, Classified
Initiated: 2025-06-13
Posted: 2025-07-30
Recalling firm: Volcano Corporation
Product: Volcano Visions Digital IVUS Catheter: PV.014P (Platinum), REF:85910P; PV.014P RX, REF: 014R; and PV.018, REF: 86700, 86700J used with Instructions for use.
Product code: OBJ Catheter, Ultrasound, Intravascular
Reason for recall: Reports of IVUS catheter and guide wire entanglement during radial-to-peripheral procedures, due to catheter use without appropriate sheath and/or guide catheter, which may require further intervention, such as surgical removal; Firm is restating instructions for use and adding: "Use a guide sheath of appropriate length to provide adequate support to the rapid exchange IVUS catheter and guidewire"
Root cause tag: labeling and UDI
Action: On 6/13/2025, correction notices were mailed to customers who were asked to do the following: As per standard practice, take precautions when advancing or removing a catheter in complex vessel anatomies. Do not force a catheter into a narrow vessel or tight stenosis. Be aware that vessel calcification, tortuosity, and untreated vessel spasm are key components of complex vascular anatomy. If the initial guidewire faces resistance or requires further manipulation, consider this to be an indicator of complex patient anatomy. The Instructions for Use currently contains the following related precautions for the user: "Do not advance the guide wire against significant resistance. If binding occurs between the catheter and the guide wire while inside the patient, CAREFULLY REMOVE BOTH the wire and catheter and do not use. If binding occurs outside of the patient, remove the catheter and do not use." Using a long radial sheath avoids this issue by preventing the catheter and guidewire from getting entangled within the sheath. The Instructions for Use highlights the minimum sheath/guide catheter Inner Diameter which does not prevent such complications; therefore, a new precaution will be added to the Instructions for Use: "Use a guide sheath of appropriate length to provide adequate support to the rapid exchange IVUS catheter and guidewire."

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.
