Wilson-Cook recalls HEMO-7 Hemospray Endoscopic Hemostats with cracked handles that may cause carbon dioxide cartridge to exit during use. Affected units from Jan 2017 to Jan 2020 need inspection.
Complaints that the handle and/or activation knob on Hemostat devices have cracked or broken when the device is activated. In some cases, this has caused the carbon dioxide cartridge to exit the handle. Most of these complaints reported that the carbon dioxide cartridge exited the handle with minimal force. However, some complaints reported that the carbon dioxide cartridge exited the handle with the potential to project towards a user or a patient.
Wilson-Cook is recalling HEMO-7 Hemospray Endoscopic Hemostats because their handles or activation knobs can crack when activated. This may cause the carbon dioxide cartridge to exit the handle, potentially projecting toward users or patients.
When the handle or activation knob cracks during use, the carbon dioxide cartridge can exit the handle. In some cases, this cartridge may project toward a user or patient with enough force to cause injury.
Medical professionals using the HEMO-7 Hemospray during procedures are most at risk. Patients receiving procedures with this device could also be affected if the cartridge exits.
