Manufacturer Reason for Recall | Due to catheter separation |
FDA Determined Cause 2 | Under Investigation by firm |
| Action | On 05/21/2026, the firm thru a third-party (Sedgwick) sent via certified mail an "URGENT Medical Device Safety Correction/Field Safety Notice" informing customer that Gore received 5 reports involving catheter separation of the GORE TAG Thoracic Branch Endoprosthesis (TBE) Side Branch (SB) Component during clinical use. In all cases, the failure occurred at the interface between the main catheter shaft and an over molded transition near where the trailing end of the device is positioned on the catheter.
Customers are being reminded of pertinent Instructions for Use and Warnings and Considerations.
-Per the IFU - Gore recommends use of a through-and-through side branch wire where clinically and anatomically feasible.
-rotation of the SB delivery catheter is cautioned against: Caution: Do not rotate the SB Component delivery catheter. Catheter breakage or inadvertent deployment has occurred.
-Caution: Do not continue advancement or retraction of the & delivery catheter if resistance is felt. Stop and assess the cause of resistance. Vessel, endoprosthesis, or delivery catheter damage may occur.
-Complete and sign the "RETURN ACKOWLEDGEMENT FORM" and return to FieldActionTeam@wlgore.com and share notice with those within their institution
For Questions - contact me, Gore Customer Service (email: MPDCustomerCare@wlgore.com or by phone at 800-528-8763), or your local Field Sales Associate.
