Certain models may also administer saline fluids or drugs into blood vessels. ![Image of the device.](https://static.hsstatic.net/BlogImporterAssetsUI/ex/missing-image.png "Image of the device.") ### Reason for Recall Vascular Solutions Inc. is recalling the Venture catheter because there is a risk of the catheter tip splitting or separating during use. Excess material at the tip of the catheter may separate and could enter the patient's bloodstream. This can result in serious adverse health consequences such as the development of blood clots, embolism of the excess material to vital organs, or death. ### Who May be Affected - Health care providers using this device during vascular procedures - All patient groups undergoing procedures involving Venture catheters ### What to Do On April 25, 2017, Vascular Solutions Inc. sent an Urgent Medical Device Recall letter to all affected customers. The letter asked distributors and customers to: - Identify and remove any affected Venture catheters from inventory and quarantine. - Ensure all customers who received any affected Venture catheters receive the Field Safety Notice and complete the Customer Inventory Form. - After all the affected catheters are returned, complete the Vascular Solutions Inc. Distributor Inventory Form, and return it via email to regops@vasc.com. - Upon receipt of the Vascular Solutions Inc. Distributor Inventory Form, Vascular Solutions' Customer Service Department will provide a Return Authorization number and arrange for return of affected Venture catheters. A credit will be offered after affected devices have been returned. ### Contact Information Health care professionals and consumers may contact Vascular Solutions at 1-888-240-6001 Monday through Friday, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Central Time or by email at [customerservice@vasc.com](mailto:customerservice@vasc.com) with any questions related to this recall. ### Date Recall Initiated April 25, 2017 ### How do I report a problem?
