    Description

    Locator-Wand Cover that is sold in a shelf carton (unit packaging) separate to the sterile tray containing and identified as PORT-A-CATH P.A.S. PORT T2 Fluoro-Free, Venous Access System, PolyFlow Polyurethane Catheter, 1.9mm O.D. tray. REF 21-4672-24. Contents: Portal with ULTRA-LOCK Connector, Radiopaque PolyFlow polyurethane Catheter 5.8Fr with CATH-FINDER Sensor Wire, Locator-Wand cover, Luer Cap, 20G PORT-A-CATH needle, 18G Blunt needle, Vein Pick, Point-Lok Sharps Safety Device, Product Information.

    Reason

    Smiths Medical became aware that product returned to them under recall # Z-0800-06/ Z-0807-06 was inadvertently distributed to consignees after the recall was initiated 03/29/2006. The product was originally recalled because Locator Wand covers, which are supplied on the outside of PORT-A-CATH and P.A.S. PORT sterile trays, may have an insufficient seal and product sterility could be compromised.

    Action

    An Urgent Product Safety & Recall Notification, dated 09/27/06, was sent to customers via facsimile and phone calls were made. The letter describes the issue and customers are given 3 options to include: use only the sterile tray and discard the wand cover, remove and discard Locator-Wand Cover pouches and request replacement Locator-Wand Covers, or return the entire device for a credit or replacement.
