Why it was recalled

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.

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