Ongoing Class II Medical devices

Recall started
21 September 2023
Reason
When using affected curette and software, there is a discrepancy between the actual curette tip location and the location displayed on navigation systems intended for use during surgical procedures of the Ear Nose and Throat (ENT) and ENT skull base surgery, which may cause delayed/prolonged surgery, cerebrospinal fluid leak, visual impairment, or skull base structural damage.

Ongoing Class II Medical devices

Recall started
12 November 2021
Reason
Suction Instruments were incorrectly calibrated so they may not meet the system accuracy specification for visual verification of device location in the patient anatomy. If the surgeon does not detect the accuracy error, this could lead to an intraprocedural delay, a potential for reversible tissue damage or damage to the carotid artery, CSF leak, or damage to optic nerve.
