Reason
Firm officials reported to CIN-DO that for this device, in the labeling on the inner Tyvek peel pouch, the letter 'E' in Electrosurgical was turned into an 'X' and the number '5" of the (mm tips) was turned into a '0'. This affected the description and some of the text of the labels. However, it did not t affect the Part Number and Lot Number on the label.
Root cause
Labeling mix-ups
