Reason

The clip may not deploy or, if deployed, the clip may not release from the tissue.

Action

Consignees were notified by an "Urgent Recall Letter " dated June 17, 2009 and instructed to cease using the product because the calibration of equipment used to manufacture these products was not in control. This may potentially result in an inability to deploy or release the clip from the catheter. Consignees were instructed to return a business reply form for return authorization. Please contact Cindy Finney, Field Action Team Lead at 1-508-683-4678 for assistance.
