Reason

Certain batches are being removed due to an increase in complaints received in which physicians encountered greater than anticipated resistance while attempting to withdraw the stent delivery system (SDS) from the guidewire or embolic protection device (EPD) after successful stent deployment. The most serious potential adverse health consequence is stroke. Other risks include delay to procedure, vessel injury, vessel spasm, or stent disruption/damage necessitating additional intervention.
