Bard Peripheral Vascular Inc: 139 FDA recall reports

Every medical device recall the FDA has published for Bard Peripheral Vascular Inc. The fault, and how the agency graded it.

5 Class I on this page

Class I means the FDA judged there was a reasonable probability of serious harm or death. Check the lot numbers against anything you hold.

What the classes mean

The FDA sorts every recall into one of three classes. The class is the whole story. It is also the part people skip.

ClassWhat the FDA is saying
Class IThere is a reasonable probability that using this will cause serious harm or death.
Class IIIt may cause temporary or reversible harm. Serious harm is unlikely.
Class IIIIt breaks a rule but is unlikely to hurt anyone. Often a labelling fault.

Class II is the bulk of every list here. That matters. A long list of Class II says something different from one Class I.

Checking whether it affects you

The lot or code number is what matters. Not the product name. A recall covers specific lots. Yours may not be one of them.

Check the code on your package against the report. The FDA keeps the current list at fda.gov/safety/recalls.

Venclose digiRF Generators, Model VCRFG1, with software 3.35 designed to identify internal wiring anomalies in

Z-2638-2025  ·  Class II  ·  reported 2025-10-08  ·  Ongoing

Why it was recalled
Software version 3.35 of the Venclose digiRF Generator incorporates a catheter verification feature specifically designed to detect internal wiring anomalies in Venclose EVSRF Ablation Catheters prior to clinical use. This automated diagnostic check is executed immediately upon catheter connection to the generator, occurring before the procedure interface becomes accessible. When a catheter fails this verification process, the generator displays a Red X indicator on the screen without accompanying error codes, effectively disabling catheter functionality. However, BD has determined that software version 3.35 generates false positive failures due to temperature-dependent verification parameters, incorrectly flagging properly functioning Venclose EVSRF Ablation Catheters as defective when the catheter temperature is not at steady state during the check initiation.
Product
Venclose digiRF Generators, Model VCRFG1, with software 3.35 designed to identify internal wiring anomalies in the Venclose EVSRF Ablation Catheter prior to use. The Venclose digiRF Generator is a sophisticated multi-voltage energy delivery system featuring touchscreen control that automatically configures non-adjustable treatment parameters (including time and temperature) for compatible catheters connected via a triaxial connector port. Designed for use with Venclose RF Catheters (either the EVSRF or Maven variants) as an integrated system, the device employs resistive radiofrequency ablation to deliver temperature-controlled RF energy that heats incompetent vein walls, inducing irreversible luminal occlusion followed by progressive fibrosis and eventual vein resorption. The 510(k) submission K250068 encompasses solely the Venclose digiRF Generator due to software modifications with no alterations to the cleared Venclose Catheters (EVSRF and Maven variants, cleared under K160754 and K211806, respectively).

The EVSRF catheter is a sterile, single-use disposable medical device for endovenous radiofrequency ablation,

Z-0371-2025  ·  Class II  ·  reported 2024-11-20  ·  Ongoing

Why it was recalled
The Venclose" RF Ablation Catheters may have been manufactured with internal wiring error. The red and yellow signal wires were soldered on swapped ports of the catheter PCB. This error in wire configuration would lead to power being applied through the proximal 3/4th of the heating coil, bypassing the thermocouple, which will then cause the generator to overdrive the catheter in an attempt to reach desired temperature set point. The wire attachment error causes the device to reach temperatures exceeding the levels intended for therapeutic efficacy, while the console is falsely indicating that temperature has not yet been reached, thus increasing the risk of harm due to excessive temperature.
Product
The EVSRF catheter is a sterile, single-use disposable medical device for endovenous radiofrequency ablation, a procedure in which a refluxing vein is thermally coagulated to permanently eliminate the vein from blood circulation. The catheter has a long shaft for insertion into a vein, a handle with start/stop button, and a connector cable. The catheter shaft has a heating element that is energized by the digiRF radiofrequency generator, which is a multi-voltage energy delivery system with touchscreen control that automatically sets the non-adjustable treatment parameters for the catheter. A button on the catheter (or a foot pedal attached to the generator) begins an automated treatment cycle of 20 seconds long at a set temperature of 120 ¿C, and the treatment stops automatically when complete. The catheter is used within a sterile operative field, while the generator remains outside the sterile operative field at all times.

Read these counts with three things in mind

A firm with more recalls usually makes more products. A contract packer runs hundreds of lines. It will out-recall a company with one product whatever either does. This is not a safety ranking.

Most recalls here are voluntary. A firm found its own fault and pulled the stock. That is the system working. It lands in this database looking the same as a recall the FDA had to push for.

Terminated means the FDA considers the recall finished. It is not a verdict. It does not mean anyone was harmed.
