Cook Medical recalls EchoTip Ultra Endoscopic Ultrasound Access Needles (ECHO-19, G31520) due to potential bacterial endotoxin contamination. Affected units include specific lot numbers and may pose health risks during medical procedures.
Devices may contain elevated levels of bacterial endotoxin.
Cook Medical is recalling EchoTip Ultra Endoscopic Ultrasound Access Needles (model ECHO-19, G31520) because they may contain elevated levels of bacterial endotoxin. This could pose a health risk during medical procedures if the needles are used without proper sterilization.
The needles may contain elevated levels of bacterial endotoxin, which can cause infections or adverse reactions when used in medical procedures. Endotoxins are part of bacterial cell walls and can trigger inflammatory responses in the body.
Healthcare professionals using the EchoTip needles for endoscopic ultrasounds are most at risk. Patients receiving procedures with these needles may also be affected if the needles are contaminated.
Check for the model number ECHO-19 and lot numbers C2145003 or C2144407 on the needle packaging. The product is sold under the brand Cook Medical.
Look for lot numbers C2145003 or C2144407 on the needle packaging to confirm if it is affected.
The needles may contain elevated levels of bacterial endotoxin, which could pose a health risk during medical procedures.
Check the lot number on the packaging. If it matches C2145003 or C2144407, contact Cook Medical for further instructions.
The recall is due to potential bacterial endotoxin contamination, not a risk of serious injury from the needle itself.
