Covidien recalls EEA Autosuture Circular Stapler models EEA25, EEAXL25, EEA2535, and EEAXL2535 due to potential staple guide disengagement causing tissue transection without staples.
The affected staplers have the potential for the staple guide to not be securely attached to the instrument. The issue could cause the component to disengage and if disengaged, could allow the device to transect tissue without forming staples.
Covidien is recalling specific models of their EEA Autosuture Circular Stapler with DST Series Technology. The issue could cause the staple guide to become detached, potentially leading to tissue being cut without forming staples.
The staple guide may not be securely attached to the instrument. If it disengages, the device could cut tissue without forming staples, which may cause injury during surgical procedures.
