Reason for Recall

Due to Label/Pouch mix-up. Pouches incorrectly labeled. Incorrect shelf carton label or pouch label due to inadequate manufacturing line clearance. As a result of this labeling mix-up, there is the possibility of inadvertently selecting the incorrect coil size for the procedure potentially causing some harms like vessel damage, an inability to treat with said device and potential rupture of the aneurysm.
