US Endoscopy is conducting a voluntary product recall of one lot of the Vari-Safe Injection Needle as it was identified that the lot was incorrectly distributed. The lot was assembled with internal catheter components which differ from the original Vari-Safe needle internal catheter components. All components are dimensionally similar to the original Vari-Safe needle internal catheter components and the components have history of use on other US Endoscopy needle products.
