Description

Abiomed Introducer Kit, 23 Fr, w/Hlx Vlv Sterile Individual, and Part of Pump Set (004334, 0046-0035, 0052-0002) Part Number: 0052-3021. Intended for introduction of the Impella Catheter into the body

Reason

Hole(s) to the outer pouch of the Introducer Kits (both trayed and non-trayed) may compromise the sterile barrier of the Introducer Kits. Non-sterile product exposes patients to the possibility of the introduction of micro-organisms into the vasculature and/or access site, leading to an infectious process, bacteremia or sepsis.
