Contego Medical Neuroguard IEP recalled for possible filter failure
The Neuroguard IEP carotid stent and post-dilation balloon system has an integrated filter that may fail to open after the sheath is retracted, due to a wire-to-filter bond issue. If this happens during a procedure, the device may lose its intended embolic protection. No injuries have been reported.
