Action Taken
Cordis sent an Urgent Field Safety Notice dated April 15, 2014 providing additional labeling to their consignees in Germany only, with a follow-up letter on August 4, 2014. Cordis explained When deploying the catheter via a compatible arterial access device, if a Tuohy-Borst type adjustable hemostasis valve is used, ensure the valve is fully open before insertion or withdrawal of the catheter. This is especially important, since the helical tip at the distal end of the RENLANE Renal Denervation Catheter has a larger diameter compared to the proximal catheter shaft. Although the event was not a Removal, all lots involved have expired. The product is no longer commercialized, and was never commercialized beyond the 10 customers in Germany.
