Product Description
Cordis S.M.A.R.T. CONTROL /S.M.A.R.T. Vascular Stent System. The S.M.A.R.T. CONTROL and S.M.A.R.T. Vascular Stent Systems consist of a self-expanding stent made of Nitinol (nickel-titanium alloy) material that is pre-mounted on an over-the-wire delivery system. The stents contain tantalum markers at each end. The S.M.A.R.T. CONTROL and S.M.A.R.T. Vascular Stents are designed to open to a preprogrammed diameter at body temperature. There are two delivery system configurations S.M.A.R.T. CONTROL and S.M.A.R.T. The stent is contained within the outer sheath of the delivery system. Once the distal end of the delivery system reaches the treatment site, the outer sheath of the delivery system is retracted to expose the stent and start its self-expansion. For the S.M.A.R.T. CONTROL Stent System, sheath retraction is achieved by grasping the handle in a fixed position with the tuning dial held between the thumb and index fingers, and rotating the tuning dial in a clockwise direction until the distal end of the stent is visibly apposed to the vessel wall. For the S.M.A.R.T. Stent System, sheath retraction is achieved by grasping the inner shaft in a fixed position and moving the outer sheath proximally relative t the inner shaft.
Reason for Recall
Cordis has initiated a labeling correction for S.M.A.R.T. and PRECISE stents due to incorrect MRI information on the IFU. The correct classification is "MRI Conditional" not "MRI Safe".

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?
