Gore CARDIOFORM Septal Occluder recalled for incorrect expiration date

What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: This is a Class II medical device recall with incorrect expiration dating. While no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the mislabeling creates risk of harm if the cardiac catheterization device is used beyond its actual 2-year shelf life.
