Related Recalls
The voluntary recall is being initiated due to a manufacturing error resulting in incorrect upper jaw dimensions, and the upper jaw could potentially disengage or detach during use.
Speed Stitch Needle Cassette
ArthroCare
Due to a supplier error where a portion of the raw material was inadvertently mixed. As a result, some needles may be made of commercially pure titanium as opposed to 304 stainless steel which does not meet the specification and could potentially break during use.
There is cracking in the tray when the device is snapped into place. The crack is through the full thickness of the tray, compromising the sterile barrier.
