• Recalling Firm/ Manufacturer: Numed Inc; 2880 Main Street /Rt 11b; Hopkinton NY 12965
• For Additional Information Contact: Ms. Nichelle LaFlesh; 315-328-4491
• Manufacturer Reason for Recall: The firm received a complaint from the sole direct account that while performing an inventory review it was observed that the packaging of the IMPACT catheter was cracked and deteriorating. The product was still in its packaging and never used. The customer referred to it as looking like "paint crackle." The risk is that for continued sterility to be assured, the packaging must remain intact.
• FDA Determined Cause: Labeling design
• Action: An informal e-mail was sent to B. Braun to give them notice not to distribute any Impact devices until further notice. This was followed up by a formal URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE RECALL letter (dated 9/24/09) to the sole consignee. The products are to be returned to the manufacturer, including any products further distributed. Customer questions should be directed to the recall contact (replace " AT " with @) nlaflesh ATnumedusa.com
• Quantity in Commerce: 7,367 units domestically
• Distribution: One distributor in Pennsylvania
• Total Product Life Cycle: TPLC Device Report
