Recall started
20 August 2026
Reason
Breast biopsy and tissue removal system may experience the following errors: 1) Probe calibration and /or handheld driver failure (code HH01-00020009) , 2) Pressure sensor (code E01-0054000E), which prompts the user to restart and re-calibrate; errors may lead to interruption or prolongation of the biopsy procedure, or the need for additional tissue sampling or repeat biopsy.

Ongoing Class II Medical devices

Recall started
6 November 2025
Reason
Acute drainage catheters, indicated for use in removing fluid during acute drainage/aspiration procedure, manufactured with safety indicators that erroneously show catheter in sharp position when catheter is in blunt position, which may lead users to believe device is not yet in pleural or peritoneal space when it is, may cause discomfort, delay to treatment, injury to internal organs or vessels.

Z-0887-2026

Ongoing Class II Medical devices

Recall started
21 August 2025
Reason
Software version 3.35 of the Venclose digiRF Generator incorporates a catheter verification feature specifically designed to detect internal wiring anomalies in Venclose EVSRF Ablation Catheters prior to clinical use. This automated diagnostic check is executed immediately upon catheter connection to the generator, occurring before the procedure interface becomes accessible. When a catheter fails this verification process, the generator displays a Red X indicator on the screen without accompanying error codes, effectively disabling catheter functionality. However, BD has determined that software version 3.35 generates false positive failures due to temperature-dependent verification parameters, incorrectly flagging properly functioning Venclose EVSRF Ablation Catheters as defective when the catheter temperature is not at steady state during the check initiation.

5 February 2025
Reason
Atherectomy Catheter eIFU updated to clarify and emphasize procedural steps intended to reduce the likelihood of catheter breakage events. Catheter has an outer cylinder connected to a rotating helix, which could fracture and/or break, which would require retrieval, and helix facture/break could cause vessel injury and lead to severe bleeding.

Recall number
Z-0467-2025

Ongoing Class II Medical devices

Recall started
4 September 2024
Reason
The Venclose" RF Ablation Catheters may have been manufactured with internal wiring error. The red and yellow signal wires were soldered on swapped ports of the catheter PCB. This error in wire configuration would lead to power being applied through the proximal 3/4th of the heating coil, bypassing the thermocouple, which will then cause the generator to overdrive the catheter in an attempt to reach desired temperature set point. The wire attachment error causes the device to reach temperatures exceeding the levels intended for therapeutic efficacy, while the console is falsely indicating that temperature has not yet been reached, thus increasing the risk of harm due to excessive temperature.

Z-3062-2024

Ongoing Class II Medical devices

Recall started
14 November 2023
Reason
Recanalization systems may be in a manufacturing mode that allows the system to continuously run without the typical 30 second pauses, and 4-minute warning/5-minute restart required messages to indicate the ten-minute maximum catheter use time has been exceeded, which may increase the risk of the device overheating or breaking.

Recall number
Z-0676-2024

Ongoing Class II Medical devices

Recall started
8 November 2023
Reason
The internal diameter of the coaxial cannula may be smaller or larger than the external diameter of the biopsy needle, and the length of the cannula may exceed the stated length on the label. As a result, the biopsy needle may not fit properly into the coaxial cannula, preventing access to the target tissue, which could lead to tissue injury, longer and repeat procedures.

10 August 2023
Reason
Diameter mismatch between coaxial and biopsy needle (cutting cannula) in disposable core biopsy instrument kits, where the coaxial cannula inner diameter prohibits the biopsy needle (cutting cannula) from properly fitting into the coaxial cannula and accessing target tissue, which may lead to repeated procedure, and procedural complications, such as pain/discomfort, pneumothorax, and bleeding.

11 April 2023
Reason

Reason
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.
