Products from the identified lots may exhibit difficulty in removing the protective balloon sheath which can result in issues with inflating or deflating the balloon. The letter informs the customers of how does the issue occur and what action is Abbott Vascular asking the customers to take. Customers with any questions are instructed to contact local Abbott Vascular Representative or Customer Service Department at (800) 227-9902. On 5/15/17, Abbott Vascular posted a press release on their website to inform customers that Abbott has initiated a voluntary recall of specific lots of three catheters: NC Trek RX Coronary Dilatation Catheter, NC Traveler Coronary Dilatation Catheter, and NC Tenku RX PTCA Balloon Catheter.
