Why it was recalled

Stop using this product now

A weakened bond may result in unintended separation, where the distal portion of the device delivery system remains in the patient. If a Pipeline Flex embolization device has already been implanted successfully, there is no increased risk to patients due to this issue.

Using this product could cause serious injury, illness or death — stop using it now.
