  • Causa
    Cook medical has identified that the labels of specific lots of disposable reuter tip-deflecting wire guides do not explicitly state that they are heparin coated. the products are labelled with the correct catalogue identifier, which includes the suffix “bh” that indicates the product is heparin coated. however, users who are not familiar with the “bh” nomenclature may not be aware that the product contains heparin.To date, no adverse events have been reported due to this issue. under rare circumstances, these products could unknowingly be used in a patient with a heparin allergy or a patient with a history of heparin induced thrombocytopenia (hit). either of these situations could potentially result in serious injury or death.
  • Acción
    Cook Medical is advising users to inspect stock and quarantine remaining units for replacement with unaffected stock.
