Why it was recalled

Devices did not pass the biological safety evaluation for cytotoxicity following exposure to test conditions. The high growth inhibition levels observed during testing could be attributed to corrosion of the device at solder points. This could potentially be reproduced during use and reprocessing.

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