The Cordis Super Torque MB Angiographic Catheter with Radiopaque Marker Bands is a catheter used to visualize and measure parts of the vascular system in order to diagnose disease and pinpoint or understand the extent of vascular issues.
The Radiopaque Marker Bands used with the device are detectable by X-Ray, allowing physicians to accurately insert the device and monitor its placement.
Cordis Corporation, once owned by Johnson & Johnson and later Cardinal Health, is now owned by private equity firm Hellman and Friedman.
Angiographic catheters, like the Cordis Super Torque MB Angiographic Catheter, are generally used on patients receiving a procedure called a coronary angiogram, which uses X-ray imaging to see your heart’s blood vessels.
According to the Mayo Clinic, the test is generally done to see if there’s a restriction in blood flow going to the heart.
Coronary angiograms are part of a general group of procedures known as heart (cardiac) catheterizations.
Cardiac catheterization procedures can both diagnose and treat heart and blood vessel conditions, and a coronary angiogram, which can help diagnose heart conditions, is the most common type of cardiac catheterization procedure.
The gold-alloy marker bands used in the device have been seen to move, lose their position, come loose from the catheter, or cause delays in angiographic procedures.
These defects can cause major, adverse health effects like heart attack and stroke and could lead to the requirement of further procedures.
The company has stated that manufacturing is not at fault for these problems, but misuse by those inserting the device are to blame.
The device is under a Class I recall, the most serious recall the FDA can issue.
Around 25,000 of these devices produced and distributed between January 2019 and July 2021 are affected by the recall.
Specific models under recall include the Super Torque MB 5F Pig, the 5F Super Torque Pig Pigtail Special, and the 5F Universal Flush F4 Super Torque MB Special. The recall does not involve devices that do not come with marker bands.
Similar to a case from a decade ago where a marker band dislodged from a Cordis catheter, was trapped in a patient’s vascular system and required a stent and procedure to fix the problem, the recent recall is also related to marker bands losing their position.
As a trapped catheter is removed by a surgeon, the device can become stretched and lead to marker bands changing position and becoming dislodged.
Marker bands are used to identify the location of the catheter tip.
Marker bands are typically installed on catheters in a process called swaging.
This method of adhesion is performed using a swaging machine, essentially hammering the marker band onto the extruding catheter tip.
The marker band is mechanically bonded onto the tip but is still exposed on the outer diameter, which can lead to possible movement of the marker band(s) during procedures as the catheter is moved through the body.
Injuries involving the Cordis Angiographic Catheter typically happen in the circumstance that a catheter is trapped between another device and the vessel wall.
No deaths have been reported.
However, 8 injuries and 167 complaints have been filed.
Four (4) of the injuries, complications, or damages experienced are:
Though the FDA did not disclose what exactly could cause heart attacks with the Cordis device, heart attacks during cardiac catheterization have been triggered by blood clots forming during the procedure.
As with risk of heart attack, the FDA did not disclose what exactly could trigger stroke when administered a Cordis device.
Strokes have been linked to/triggered by blood clots forming during cardiac catheterizations.
With the danger of misplacement and dislodging of the marker bands used with the Cordis device, damage to the vascular system is possible.
Cordis device malfunction may lead to the requirement of further medical procedures to reverse issues caused and ensure patient safety.
This can be costly to a patient, both in terms of medical and financial burden.
If you are suffering from an injury related to a Cordis Angiographic Catheter malfunction, there are steps you can take to minimize the damages caused by your injury and gain compensation for those injuries.
Reporting your injuries to the FDA is an important step in ensuring justice is achieved.
Voluntary reports can be submitted through MedWatch.
Device manufacturers and user facilities must comply with the applicable Medical Device Reporting (MDR) regulations.
Health care personnel employed by facilities that are subject to the FDA’s user facility reporting requirements should follow the reporting procedures established by their facilities.
