The EKOS EkoSonic Control Unit is intended exclusively for use with the EkoSonic Endovascular Device and the EkoSonic MACH4 Endovascular Device. The EkoSonic Endovascular System 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, nonsterile Connector Interface Cable connects the EKOS EkoSonic Control Unit to the EkoSonic Endovascular Device.

Casters on the EKOS carts may be missing washers which can cause premature wear and dislodgement of the casters/wheels leading to failure.
The recalling firm identified ten devices which were distributed and could potentially be non-compliant. These devices potentially underwent a routine manufacturing test with non-compliant parameters, which may result in a small blister in the epoxy over transducers in the treatment zone. It is not known at the time the recall was initiated whether the non-compliant test parameters, or presence of the blisters, adversely affect operation of the device.
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.
