    Reason

    due to complaints received for 3mm to 4mm section wire exposed/protruding from the outside of the cannula body.

    Action

    On 05/16/2025, and 05/19/2025, the firm sent via FedEx overnight an "URGENT: PRODUCT RECALL" Letter to customers informing them that Edwards has confirmed a small number of occurrences impacting the OptiSite Arterial Perfusion cannula in which a 3mm to 4mm section of wire, from the wire-reinforcement coil at the cannula tip, was found to be released from the cannula body. The risk for the wire-reinforcement coil protruding out of the cannula body is major tissue damage and hemolysis.
