Description

BiodivYsio SV Over The Wire (OTW) Coronary Stent, 2.25 mm diameter; Catalog #: B3225-10, Lot #: 010586G; Catalog #: B3225-10, Lot #: 030176G; Catalog #: B3225-15, Lot #: 010626G; Catalog #: B3225-18, Lot #: 020246G.

Reason

The medical device is misbranded in that the compliance chart of the Stent diameter may allow overexpansion that may result in vessel damage.

Action

On 7/21/03, the firm issued letters via Federal Express to all its direct consignees, informing them of the affected devices and providing instructions on the recall.

Distribution

Product received nationwide distribution to approx. 38 direct consignees. The recall was appropriately extended to the user level; i.e., the hospital/medical centers, physicians who received the recalled product. There is no known Canadian distribution.
