Abbott Medical recalls a specific lot of Classic Radiofrequency Cannulas due to incorrect tip length labeling, which may lead to improper lesion size during medical procedures.
A manufacturing error caused a single lot of 10mm active tip length Cannulas to be labeled as 5mm active tip length cannulas.
Abbott Medical is recalling a specific lot of their Classic Radiofrequency Cannulas because they were mistakenly labeled as having a 5mm active tip instead of the correct 10mm. This could cause improper lesion size during medical procedures if used without correction.
The cannulas were manufactured with a 10mm active tip but labeled as 5mm. This mismatch could result in smaller lesions than intended during medical procedures, potentially affecting treatment outcomes.

Check for the lot number 6865795 on the cannula packaging. The product is labeled as 'CLASSIC Radiofrequency Cannula - Curved, 10 cm, SMK Compatible Electrode, REF C-1005-S' and is a disposable medical device.
