Why the product was recalled
St. Jude Medical is conducting a voluntary recall of SMJ Batch # 4641580 of the Fast-Cath Trio" Hemostasis Introducer, Catalog number 406308. The inner diameter of the 10F dilator is too small, such that the guidewire cannot advance through the device which may result in a procedural delay while another dilator of the desired size is obtained.
