Recall Details

Company:
Waismed Ltd
Reason for Recall:
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.
Classification:
Class I - Dangerous

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

Status:
terminated
