Why Was This Recalled?

Test results from the manufacturing line found a piece of damaged o-ring in an unexpected section of the catheter. Further testing indicated that pieces (>200 micron) of damaged o-ring had the potential to be flushed out of the catheter. ACIST is confirming the source of the failure mode to assure the quality and reliability of the Kodama catheter.
