International safety notice

During manufacturing, it was discovered that some products may have leaks within the catheter bifurcation. In the approved product, a gap is created between the lumens within the branch, so when liquid is flowed from one branch pipe, Liquid that would normally flow to the distal end of the catheter may flow not only to the distal end of the catheter but also to the other branch tube. Confirmed. We have decided to carry out a voluntary recall of the products.
