The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday issued a recall of a heart device made by a unit of Johnson & Johnson due to a faulty valve.
The valve, which prevents blood from flowing back through it, is part of a device used to insert and position cardiovascular catheters in the heart.
About 110 Agilis Steerable Introducer Sheath devices made and distributed between Jan. 1 and May 5 are a part of the Class I recall, according to the FDA.
