Cordis has recalled its Cordis Super Torque MB Angiographic Catheter with Radiopaque Marker Bands due to the potential for the bands to move or dislodge during procedures. The movement can happen where the catheter is trapped between another device and the vessel wall, according to a [recall notice](https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-recalls/cordis-recalls-super-torque-mb-angiographic-catheter-radiopaque-marker-bands-due-potential-marker?ref=fdaweb.com). Such movement could cause serious adverse events including delays in the procedure, the need for added medical procedures, heart attack, or stroke, it says. There have been 167 complaints, eight injuries, and no deaths reported about the issue. The catheter is used to visualize and measure parts of the vascular system when used with radiopaque (X-ray detectable) contrast media.
