Where it was sold

Why it was recalled

The distal end of the Conical portio adapter (acorn) is composed of a small cap (head) that partially sits inside a hollow shaft (tube). These two parts are welded together to create one piece. In the impacted batches of product, the weld was improperly performed. As a result, the two pieces are not properly joined. This potential failure can result in the separation of the two pieces. The possible separation of these two components presents a potential risk to patients.

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