Cardinal Health Inc. recalls Cordis S.M.A.R.T. CONTROL /S.M.A.R.T. Vascular Stent System.
Recalled Product
Cordis S.M.A.R.T. CONTROL /S.M.A.R.T. Vascular Stent System. The S.M.A.R.T. CONTROL and S.M.A.R.T. Vascular Stent Systems consist of a self-expanding stent made of Nitinol (nickel-titanium alloy) material that is pre-mounted on an over-the-wire delivery system. The stents contain tantalum markers at each end. The S.M.A.R.T. CONTROL and S.M.A.R.T. Vascular Stents are designed to open to a preprogrammed diameter at body temperature. There are two delivery system configurations S.M.A.R.T. CONTROL and S.M.A.R.T. The stent is contained within the outer sheath of the delivery system. Once the distal end of the delivery system reaches the treatment site, the outer sheath of the delivery system is retracted to expose the stent and start its self-expansion. For the S.M.A.R.T. CONTROL Stent System, sheath retraction is achieved by grasping the handle in a fixed position with the tuning dial held between the thumb and index fingers, and rotating the tuning dial in a clockwise direction until the distal end of the stent is visibly apposed to the vessel wall. For the S.M.A.R.T. Stent System, sheath retraction is achieved by grasping the inner shaft in a fixed position and moving the outer sheath proximally relative t the inner shaft.
Hazard / Issue
Cordis has initiated a labeling correction for S.M.A.R.T. and PRECISE stents due to incorrect MRI information on the IFU. The correct classification is "MRI Conditional" not "MRI Safe".
