Use: The Trellis 6 and Trellis 8 Peripheral Infusion systems are used to treat blood clots that may form in the veins or arteries of the arms, hands, legs, or feet. The systems have two balloons that are inflated to isolate a clot. Medication is released between the balloons to reduce the size of or dissolve the clot so it can be removed. These devices are used by health care providers.
Recall Class: Class I
Date Recall Initiated: December 10, 2014
Devices:
- Covidien Trellis 6 Peripheral Infusion System
- Covidien Trellis 8 Peripheral Infusion System
Manufacturing and distribution dates: 1126 units were distributed in the U.S. from June 6, 2014 to November 13, 2014.
Recalling Firm:
Covidien
4600 Nathan Ln N
Plymouth, Minnesota
55442-2890
Reason for Recall: A manufacturing error caused the balloon inflation ports to be mislabeled. This may cause the physician using the device to deflate the balloons in the incorrect order. If this happens, there is a potential for blood clots to dislodge and move into the lungs.
Depending upon the size of these clots, there is the possibility of serious patient injury or death.
