Reason for Recall
There is a potential that a catheter convenience set contains a 21G access needle instead of the correct 18G needle. If the 21G needle is used to gain vascular access then the guidewire included in the kit will not pass through the access needle to facilitate insertion of an introducer sheath and could therefore cause procedure delay or injury.
