Why it was recalled

The firm became aware of a manufacturing variation in which black and green reloads in select Stapler Reloads may not deploy individual adjacent staples, which could result in an incomplete staple line. Failure of a incomplete staple like could potentially lead to an air leak or an anastomotic leak which may require an additional procedural intervention.

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