S.M.A.R.T. FLEX BILIARY STENT SYSTEM

Reason

Based on one complaint and the subsequent investigation, Cordis has determined that selected lots of S.M.A.R.T. Flex Biliary Stent System have a potential for cracked Luer hubs, due to a manufacturing error. The Luer hub is used to inject contrast/saline during procedure preparation, prior to insertion of the stent system into the patient. A cracked hub could result in leakage of saline, or in the worst case, inability to flush the outer sheath of the catheter.
