Reason for Recall

As stated by FDA

The catheter packaging incorrectly listed the balloon size as 8mm X 20mm instead of the intended size 8mm X 40mm. If undetected, the user will advance the longer than expected balloon to the lesion. The potential exists that upon inflation, non-diseased vessel, kidney or sections of the AV dialysis fistulae may be dilated, potentially causing a varying degree of injury. This may require additional medical or surgical intervention.
