Why it was recalled

For over a year, the Accessory Packages in the Hyfrecator 2000 ESU cartons were packaged in error by the manufacturer with non-sterile P/N 7-796-19 Handpiece Sheaths in pouches that were labeled as Sterile. This could cause an end user to use a non-sterile sheath as if it were sterile.

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