Where it was sold

Why it was recalled

During arthroscopic surgery, when the scope is moved inside the cannula, the body of the irrigation extender separates, potentially obstructing visualization and causing leakage of the irrigation fluid. The device is removed and a back-up device is used to complete the surgery.

This product could cause temporary or reversible health problems — stop using it.
