EkoSonic Endovascular System, Catalog Number 500-56112. It consists of three main components, a single use EkoSonic Endovascular Device which is comprised of an Intelligent Drug Delivery Catheter (IDDC) and removable MicroSonic Device (MSD), and a reusable EKOS EkoSonic Control System. During use, fluids are delivered through the side-holes of the IDDC. The MSD is placed through the central lumen of the IDDC to deliver ultrasound energy along the length of fluid delivery, dispersing the fluid into the intravascular treatment site. The reusable EKOS EkoSonic Control Unit provides power to the system and the user interface for operator control. A reusable, non-sterile Connector Interface Cable connects the EKOS EkoSonic Control Unit to the EkoSonic Endovascular Device.

Class I - Dangerous

The EkoSonic kit, including the individually labeled MicroSonic Device (MSD) and Intelligent Drug Delivery Catheter (IDDC) are labeled with a 135 cm working length, and programmed with a 135 cm family code, however the MSD actual working length is 106 cm.

The EkoSonic Endovascular System employs high frequency (2-2.5 MHz), low power (0.585 watt average power per transducer) ultrasound to facilitate the delivery of physician-specified fluids in the peripheral vasculature and to deliver solutions into the pulmonary arteries. The EkoSonic Endovascular System is intended for the controlled and selective infusion of physician-specified fluids, including thrombolytics, into the peripheral vasculature and the infusion of solutions into the pulmonary arteries. The reusable EKOS EkoSonic Control Unit provides power to the system and the user interface for operator control. A reusable, non sterile Connector Interface Cable connects the EKOS EkoSonic Control Unit to the EkoSonic Endovascular Device.

Class I - Dangerous

The EkoSonic Control Unit is recalled because it had the incorrect power entry module installed. It is missing an AC filter to reduce the noise and electrical interference.
