Description

Atrium Medical 10 Fr Trocar catheter, Sterile Model Number: 8410 Intended to facilitate the evacuation of air and/or fluid from the chest cavity or mediastinum.

Reason

Action

In addition, it provides instructions on how to handle product that may be affected. Accounts are to read the letter completely and share with all users and staff. They have been requested to complete the enclosed Recall Reply Form, acknowledging receipt of the notice; and, remove and quarantine any affected product for return.
