Kumpe Access Catheter Cathether, Ureteral, General & Plastic Surgery Used in combination with a HiWire, Bentson, or other flexible-tipped wire guide to gain difficult ureteral access beyond a redundant or tortuous ureteral segment
Reason
Increase in reports of polymer degradation of the catheter tip, resulting in tip fracture and/or separation. degradation could include loss of device function, separation of a device segment leading to medical intervention, or complications resulting from a separated segment. Such complications include device fragments in the vascular system, genitourinary system, or other soft tissues. Fragments within the vascular system could result in embolization to the heart or lungs, or occluding blood flow to end organs.
