Manufacturer Reason
for Recall		 St Jude Medical has determined that a limited number of Agilis Steerable Introducers manufactured in late 2005 are susceptible to the hemostasis hub leaking or separating from the handle. The risks that exist are related to the loss of hemostasis through the Agilis introducer and/or the possibility of air or foreign body being introduced into the patient with resultant embolism.
