Perceval S Post-Dilation Catheter

Reason

Sorin Group Italia has received one problem report regarding the Perceval S valve post dilation balloon catheter (Size M). After the post dilation procedure, the blue reference circle (Depth marker ring), which is intended to provide a reference to the surgeon to assure proper positioning of the valve, was found to be displaced on the catheter tip. This may occur when the plastic tube that protects the balloon is removed.
