Description
PASCAL Precision Transcatheter Valve Repair System, Models: 20000ISM and 20000IS
Due to a manufacturing issue, when using valve repair systems, intended to repair insufficient mitral and/or tricuspid valves, users experienced resistance when attempting to release the implant from the delivery system by rotating the release knob.
