Why Was This Recalled?

Manufacturing of the joint between the inner catheter and stylet of the delivery system does not consistently meet specifications, and the joint may separate during deployment. Failure of this joint during a procedure may result in a partial stent deployment. The clinical effect of a partial deployment may be a need for surgical intervention, or may result in vessel trauma or an embolic event
