FDA Determined
Cause 2		 Other
Action Recall letters dated 11/15/02 were sent via 2-day FedEx to the direct accounts. The accounts were informed of the potential for breakage of the catheters during use, requested to inspect their inventories for the affected lot numbers, and segregate any found for return to Allegiance for replacement. Distributors were requested to sub-recall the product from their accounts. The recall was extended to include the 21 additional lots by letter dated 4/8/04. The letters were sent via Airborne Express, 1-Day, on 4/8/04. The instructions were the same as the 11/15/02 letter, except that Allegiance has changed their name to Cardinal Health.
Quantity in Commerce 232,228 trays
