FDA says a Medtronic Vascular 5/4 recall of angiographic guidewire components is Class 1\. The company [says](https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfRes/res.cfm?ID=187503&ref=fdaweb.com) the recall was issued because the components were to be shipped to a third-party for further processing into kits and sterilization but instead were shipped directly to customers. Medtronic says some 55,000 units are affected.
