Older versions of Penumbra Inc.’s Neuron 6F 070 Delivery Catheter have been recalled in the wake of reports that some catheters have kinked, ovalized or broken, resulting in injuries.

The Penumbra Neuron delivery catheter recall was announced September 29 and affects 31 lots of the original versions of the catheters. If the catheters kink or collapse when bent, it could result in waste not being removed from the patient, potentially resulting in life-threatening complications.

A kinked or ovalized catheter can restrict the flow of material through the catheter, cause problems with the insertion of other devices through the guide catheter, and can lead to the catheter breaking after continued use.
