Plain-English summary

Wilson-Cook Medical Inc. is recalling QUANTUM TTC BILIARY BALLOON DILATOR devices (model REF QBD-10X3-E, Order Number G22667) due to design non-conformance. The recall affects 111 devices distributed in the United States. These devices are used to dilate strictures in the biliary tree.

The devices, while manufactured correctly, do not comply with their design requirements. This non-conformance creates a risk of balloon detachment during clinical use. If detachment occurs, retrieval of the device may be required, which could cause bleeding. Alternatively, the detached device may pass naturally without injury.

Healthcare facilities with devices from the affected lot numbers should refer to the FDA recall notice for details and further instructions from the manufacturer.
