Why it was recalled

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.

FDA root cause category: Labeling design

What the company is doing

An informal e-mail was sent to B. Braun to give them notice not to distribute any Impact devices until further notice. This was followed up by a formal URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE RECALL letter (dated 9/24/09) to the sole consignee. The products are to be returned to the manufacturer, including any products further distributed. Customer questions should be directed to the recall contact (replace " AT " with @) nlaflesh ATnumedusa.com
