Abbott’s (ABT +0.7%) Vascular unit is recalling certain lots of its NC Trek Rx and NC Traveler Rx balloon catheters due to the risk that the balloons may not deflate as intended. The company says the issue is due to weaker material close to the balloon bond as a result of excessive heat exposure during manufacturing.
A total of 13,891 devices are affected. There have been 13 complaints and one reported death thus far.
