What the authority reported
Cook Medical has identified that a limited number of nonconforming raw materials were manufactured into certain lot numbers of hemospray devices and distributed into the field. Use of the devices with these nonconforming raw materials may result in the red activation knob cracking or breaking at the activation knob internal threading while the device is activated. This can lead to the activation knob and carbon dioxide cartridge exiting the handle with force. Recall start date: August 30, 2024
What to do
Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
