Reason for recall
The firm received a complaint from the sole direct account that while performing an inventory review it was observed that the packaging of the IMPACT catheter was cracked and deteriorating. The product was still in its packaging and never used. The customer referred to it as looking like "paint crackle." The risk is that for continued sterility to be assured, the packaging must remain intact.
