Manufacturer Reason
for Recall		 Embolization device delivery system may fracture at the distal section during device implantation. A weakened bond may result in unintended separation, where the distal portion of the device delivery system remains in the patient. If a Pipeline Flex embolization device has already been implanted successfully, there is no increased risk to patients due to this issue.
FDA Determined
