• For Additional Information Contact: Kelli Lynch; 203-500-3328
• Manufacturer Reason for Recall: Use of embolization device with diameters greater-than-or-equal-to 4mm may lead to incomplete wall apposition and/or braid deformation (fish-mouthing/braid narrowing/braid collapse) noted during procedure and post-procedure, typically noted at 6-12 month imaging follow-up, potentially can lead to thrombosis and/or serious adverse events. Higher risk in females less-than-or-equal-to 45 years of age
• FDA Determined Cause: Device Design
