Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall of a medical device with potential for serious injury including vessel rupture, thrombosis, and ischemic neurological events, meeting the Severe criterion for Class II with risk-of-harm.
Plain-English summary
MICROVENTION INC. is recalling the LVIS Intraluminal Support Device (also called a stent-assisted coiling device) in three size variants: 4.0 mm x 22 mm x 18 mm (REF 214022-CAS), 4.5 mm x 18 mm x 14 mm (REF 214518-CAS), and 3.5 mm x 17 mm x 13 mm (REF 213517-CAS). The recall affects 38 units distributed to China.
The devices are being recalled because they may have dimensional nonconformance and/or incorrect device configuration due to commingling during manufacturing. An oversized device may lead to increased vessel wall stress, neointimal hyperplasia, or vessel injury or rupture. An undersized device may lead to incomplete expansion, malposition, acute stent thrombosis, distal embolization, or ischemic neurological events.
The affected lot numbers are 0000616462, 0000619851, 0000552987, and 0000551725. Customers who have these devices should stop use and contact MICROVENTION INC. for further guidance.
