FDA Recalls Deadly Catheter

The issues stem from the fact that the catheter’s tip can break off or inflate inside the patient’s brain leading to catastrophic bleeding in the brain and sudden death. The Class 1 recall involves more than 30,000 units that were distributed worldwide between June 2019 and December 2020. The recall comes after months of criticism in the media, where the JET 7 was dubbed a “killer catheter.”
