Action the firm took

On 7/9/2021 Edwards issued a "URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE PROUDCT CORRECTION" via FedEx to all affected consignees. In addition to informing consignees about the recall the firm ask consignees take the following actions: 1. The problem may be identified during preparation of the catheter for insertion per the IFU, paying specific attention to the connection between the green hub and the tubing for any signs of leakage. Additionally, the problem may be identified if when flushing the lumens of the catheter while administering a medication, a transient change of vital signs is observed. In either of these situations, remove the catheter over a guidewire maintaining venous access and then place a new product over the venous wire. Once properly placed, remove the guidewire, and secure the catheter. New venous access is not required. 2.
