Product Description

MitraClip Clip Delivery System, product number MSK0101. The MitraClip System contains the Clip Delivery System, product number CDS0201, GTIN 08717648195914 and the Steerable Guide Catheter, product number SGC0101, GTIN 08717648195921. The MitraClip Clip Delivery System (CDS) consists of three major components: 1) the Delivery Catheter 2) the Steerable Sleeve, and 3) the MitraClip device. The implantable MitraClip device is located at the distal end of the CDS. The CDS is used to advance and manipulate the implantable MitraClip device for proper positioning and placement on the mitral valve leaflets. The Delivery Catheter, which is part of the CDS, is designed to deliver and deploy the MitraClip. The Delivery Catheter extends through the thru-lumen of the Steerable Sleeve.

Reason for Recall

Abbott Vascular has recently received reports of cases on Clip Delivery System devices that contain the One-Way Actuator Knob where a user attempted implanting a MitraClip, but the Clip could not be detached from the delivery system due to a mandrel fracture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Contact your healthcare provider and the device manufacturer immediately. Check whether your specific model number and lot number are included in the recall scope. For external devices, stop using the affected product and arrange a replacement. For implanted devices, do not panic — removal is typically not required unless the risk assessment clearly indicates it. Your physician will guide you based on your individual clinical situation and the FDA's recommended actions. Report any adverse effects you may have experienced to FDA MedWatch at 1-800-FDA-1088.

Class I recalls indicate a reasonable probability of serious adverse health consequences or death from the defect. Class II recalls involve products that may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where serious consequences are remote. Class III recalls cover products not likely to cause any adverse health consequences, typically involving technical regulatory violations. The classification guides urgency — Class I recalls require immediate action, while Class III may simply involve returning a product or acknowledging a labeling change. Always read the specific recall notice for recommended patient actions.

Report problems with medical devices to the FDA through MedWatch at 1-800-FDA-1088 or online at FDA.gov/safety/medwatch. Healthcare facilities are required by law to report device-related serious injuries and deaths. Patients and consumers can also report voluntarily. Include the device name, manufacturer, model number, and a description of the problem and any patient outcome. Reports from patients and clinicians help the FDA identify emerging safety signals and may trigger investigations that lead to recalls of dangerous devices.

What Should You Do?

Stop using this device if you are affected by this recall. Contact your healthcare provider and the manufacturer immediately for guidance. Report adverse events to FDA MedWatch.
