Description

The PreludeSYNC Radial Compression Device is a sterile, single use disposable device used to assist in gaining and maintaining hemostasis of the radial and ulnar artery following catheterization procedures. It has a soft wristband with a secure hook and loop fastener. The band delivers adjustable compression of the puncture site with an inflatable bulb, and a check valve for easy inflation and deflation with a syringe. A clear curved backer plate provides optimal visualization of the puncture site and ease of placement.

Reason

Merit Medical Systems, Inc. announces a voluntary field action for the PreludeSYNC Radial Compression Device because particulate generated during the manufacturing process may enter the valve, preventing a complete seal of the inflation valve.
