- Bard Peripheral Vascular (BPV) has confirmed that some product code/lot number combination of devices may have the incorrect balloon diameter labeled on the inflation hub. Specifically, the balloon size printed on the hub may read 7mm x 4cm, when the actual balloon size is 8mm x 4cm. All other product labeling is consistent with the actual 8mm x 4cm balloon size.
- Root cause
- Mixed-up of materials/components
