PreludeSYNC DISTAL Radial Compression Devices, SDRB-REG-LT, SDRB-REG-RT

Reason for recall

During the sterilization of radial compression devices, some of the inflatable balloons may break or burst, which may result in air leakage and the inability to maintain pressure/compression. This may result in a lack of hemostasis resulting in bleeding or a delay in treatment; the defect is likely to be visually identified by the clinician before use or identified during inflation of the balloon.
