Device maybe mislabeled as a 20 MHz Doppler transceiver instead of an 8 MHz Doppler transceiver
Vascular Technology is recalling a specific model of surgical Doppler transceiver that might be labeled incorrectly as a 20 MHz device instead of an 8 MHz device. This mislabeling could cause improper use during medical procedures if the device is used in situations requiring the correct frequency.
The device might be mislabeled as a 20 MHz Doppler transceiver instead of an 8 MHz one. This could lead to incorrect use during medical procedures if the device is used in situations requiring the correct frequency. The risk is low because the mislabeling is a labeling error, not a functional defect.
Surgical teams using the VTI 8 MHz Doppler transceiver with serial numbers 14329-001 to 14329-010 are most at risk. These units were sold for intraoperative use in microvascular and vascular procedures.
Check for serial numbers 14329-001 through 14329-010 on the VTI 8 MHz Surgical Doppler Transceiver. The device is used for intraoperative microvascular and vascular procedures.
Look for the serial number on the device to confirm it is not in the range 14329-001 to 14329-010.
The recalled device is the VTI 8 MHz Surgical Doppler Transceiver with serial numbers 14329-001 to 14329-010.
The device might be mislabeled as a 20 MHz Doppler transceiver instead of an 8 MHz one, which could lead to incorrect use during medical procedures.
The recall does not mention a fix; the remedy is null, meaning no action is required beyond checking the serial number.
