Class II Recall: Angiodynamics Soft-Vu Catheter with Guidewire Passage Defect
Summary
Angiodynamics, Inc. initiated a Class II voluntary recall for Soft-Vu Angiographic Catheters (Catalog No. 10710013, lots A3625012 and A3825055) due to a manufacturing defect that may prevent appropriately sized guidewires from passing through the catheter hub inner diameter. FDA determined the cause is nonconforming material or component. Urgent recall letters were issued on March 3, 2026, instructing consignees to immediately stop use, remove affected products from inventory, segregate for return, and return to Angiodynamics. Approximately 785 units (157 boxes) were distributed worldwide including US and 20 other countries.
What changed
Angiodynamics issued an urgent voluntary recall for specific lots of Soft-Vu Angiographic Catheters after identifying a manufacturing defect affecting guidewire compatibility. The recall applies to Catalog No. 10710013 across lot numbers A3625012 and A3825055, distributed as 785 units worldwide. FDA classified this as a Class II recall with nonconforming material as the identified cause.
Healthcare facilities, distributors, and any consignees holding affected inventory must immediately cease use of these catheters, remove them from all storage locations, segregate them securely, and arrange return to Angiodynamics. Given the catheter's use in intravascular diagnostic procedures, any inability to pass a guidewire through the hub could interrupt critical clinical workflows. Affected parties should verify lot numbers against inventory records and coordinate with Angiodynamics contact Kasey Newcomb at 978-333-1108 for return instructions.
What to do next
- IMMEDIATELY: Stop using the devices subject to this recall and share the notification to all users of the devices within your facility immediately.
- IMMEDIATELY: Remove any affected items/lots from your inventory (whether in labs, Central Supply, Shipping and Receiving or ANY other location).
