Covidien recalls Auto Suture Blunt Tip Trocar (OMS-T12BTNL) due to potential seal disengagement when used incorrectly with mesh products. Affected units include specific lot numbers and serial codes.
The potential for trocar seal disengagement when using mesh products incorrectly with the device.
Covidien is recalling its Auto Suture Blunt Tip Trocar device because it can become unsafe if used incorrectly with mesh products, potentially causing the seal to disengage. This could lead to complications during medical procedures if the device fails to stay properly attached.
The trocar seal may disengage if the device is used incorrectly with mesh products, which could cause the device to become loose during surgery. This might lead to complications such as bleeding or tissue damage if the device fails to stay securely in place.
Medical professionals using the device for surgical procedures are most at risk, particularly when the device is used with mesh products without proper technique.
Check for the product number OMS-T12BTNL and lot/serial numbers listed in the recall notice, including codes like P0L1444, P0M1932, P1A1491, and others.
