Why it was recalled

A potential device interaction between the Shockwave Coronary IVL Catheter and left-sided Impella Pumps during coronary interventions. Currently there is no Abiomed labeling (IFU etc.) content related to this potential interaction, so Abiomed will update the IFU to include information on this potential device interaction.

Class II means using this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; the chance of serious harm is remote.
