Why it was recalled

Stop using this product now

This recall has been initiated due to a software defect found in the Guide System software when used with NICO BrainPath ports under certain circumstances. When one trajectory is set with a blue port and another trajectory is set with a gold port, the software defect is triggered when the user switches between these trajectories during a surgical procedure.

Using this product could cause serious injury, illness or death — stop using it now.
