Reason for Recall
SuperArrow Flex IAB catheter becomes stuck in the sheath, unable to move the IAB catheter forward or backward, causing a delay in therapy, bleeding or arterial injury.
Firm Action
Arrow international initiated a voluntary recall on 12/21/10 by letter requesting users to discontinue use and return all unused 5800 Series IAB with SuperFlex Introducers to Arrow. This field action supercedes the Safety Alert IAB 'Stuck in Sheath' letter issued on 10/8/2010. Questions should be directed towards their local sales representative or the IABP support Line at 1-866-396-2111 or 1-617-389-6400.
