Micro Therapeutics, Inc.: Intracranial Aneurysm Flow Diverter

Recall Summary Micro Therapeutics is recalling Pipeline Flex Embolization Devices (used to treat brain aneurysms) because the implants are labeled with incorrect sizes—devices marked as 3.0 mm x 20 mm actually contain 12 mm implants, and those marked as 3.0 mm x 12 mm actually contain 20 mm implants. The affected product (model PED2-300-20) was distributed nationwide to hospitals and medical facilities. This mislabeling could result in surgeons implanting the wrong-sized device during procedures.
