Recall Details

Company:
Covidien, LP
Reason for Recall:
Potential for the device safety interlock to fail. The safety interlock prevents an empty single-use reload from being erroneously fired a second time. If the safety interlock fails and the empty single-use reload is fired a second time, the stapler may cut tissue but no staples will deploy from the empty reload, potentially resulting in a failed anastomosis, bleeding, tissue trauma, and the potential need to convert to an open procedure.
Classification:
Class I - Dangerous

Dangerous or defective products that predictably could cause serious health problems or death.

Status:
terminated
