Where it was sold

Why it was recalled

The external diameter of the biopsy instrument is larger than the internal diameter of the coaxial needle, which could lead to: 1) Procedural delay, 2) Requirement of an additional device, 3), Needle tip breakage, if used despite incompatibility.

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