The firm is recalling two custom surgical kits containing the BARD(TM) Toomey Irrigation Syringe 70cc with Resectoscope Tip, Catheter Tip, Luer Adapter and Cap. The BARD(TM) component is being recalled for a possible slit defect on the package that may affect the component's sterility.
Field failures were reported related to the da Vinci Xi Surgical System EndoWrist Stapler 45 and 30 instruments having an interruption in shaft rotation and / or instrument jaws not opening.
WaisMed received a report in which during the operation of the NIO-A, the needle was not released from the device as expected. The device was placed on the floor and after several minutes the needle was released spontaneously. NIO-A and the NIO-P models have the same activation mechanism. However, none of the affected lots of the NIO-A are distributed in the US, and thus the company is only recalling a single lot of NIO-P in the US.
The adhesive may be inadequately applied or the assembly may be manipulated after application of the adhesive resulting in an incomplete bond to the angled tip.
A version of the dual dispersive electrodes may not be compatible with some electrosurgical generators, placing patients at risk for undetected pad lift and a potential burn.

Increase in reports of polymer degradation of the catheter tip, resulting in tip fracture and/or separation. degradation could include loss of device function, separation of a device segment leading to medical intervention, or complications resulting from a separated segment. Such complications include device fragments in the vascular system, genitourinary system, or other soft tissues. Fragments within the vascular system could result in embolization to the heart or lungs, or occluding blood flow to end organs.
