Ethicon recalls 29mm diameter Model SDH29A intraluminal staplers due to potential insufficient firing stroke causing incomplete staple formation. Affected units were sold between February 2023 and March 2024.
The staplers may have an insufficient firing stroke to break the washer and completely form staples.
Ethicon is recalling straight intraluminal staplers with model SDH29A and 29mm diameter because they may not fire properly, leading to incomplete staple formation. This could cause surgical complications if used in procedures requiring precise tissue joining.
The staplers may not have enough force to properly break the washer and form complete staples during surgery. This could result in tissue not being securely joined, potentially causing leaks or complications during procedures.
Surgical professionals and hospitals that purchased these specific staplers between February 2023 and March 2024 are likely affected. Patients undergoing procedures with these staplers may be at risk of incomplete tissue joining.
Check for the model number SDH29A and 29mm diameter on the stapler. Affected units were sold between February 2023 and March 2024.
Verify the model number and diameter on the stapler to confirm if it matches the recalled SDH29A 29mm size.
The staplers may have an insufficient firing stroke to break the washer and completely form staples, which could lead to incomplete tissue joining during surgery.
These staplers were sold between February 2023 and March 2024.
