Action

On 10/23/2020, the firm sent an "Urgent Medical Device Correction" Notification to customers via a courier service informing them of the potential for the distal tip ring to become dislodged. All lots of the affected product (VER: 08) are potentially impacted. The Recalling Firm is instructing customers to: 1.) Prior to start of the procedure, with the Vision Probe fully inserted and connected to the back end of the Catheter, ensure that the Vision Probe does not extend beyond the Catheter. a. If the Vision Probe extends past the Catheter do not use the Catheter in a procedure. 2.) At the end of the procedure, confirm that the distal tip ring is still intact (with the Vision Probe fully inserted and connected to the backend of the Catheter, confirm that the Vision Probe does not extend beyond the Catheter. a. If the Vision Probe extends past the Catheter, perform fluoroscopy to ensure that the Catheter distal tip ring does not remain in the patient. In addition, please follow the instructions outlined in the Ion System, Instrument and Accessories User Manual (PN 553990), specifically: 1.) Inspect all instruments and accessories for potential damage prior to clinical use. 2.) Use only compatible Cook Captura biopsy forceps. Failure to use compatible forceps may result in stuck forceps or Catheter damage. a. Ensure that the Cook Captura biopsy forceps are fully closed when withdrawing into the Catheter after biopsy. b. Slowly insert and retract (do not use excessive force or rapidly withdraw) the Cook Captura biopsy forceps into the Catheter. If the Catheter distal tip ring is missing at any point during inspection, contact Customer Service immediately and return the Catheter and the distal tip ring, if available, through the standard RMA process.
