Affected Products
Captiflex Snares, Single-Use Polypectomy Snare consists of a flexible wire cable and loop which can be extended and retracted from the snares flexible outer sheath using a three-ring handle. The inner diameter of the sheath is PolyGlide" Lubricant coated to provide minimal friction during extension and retraction of the loop from the sheath. When passed through an endoscope the snare can be activated to deliver a monopolar electrical current to cut and cauterize tissue with the loop.
Why Was This Recalled?
BSC has noted a potential inability to cut and remove polyps for these lots/batches. potential consequences related to the snares not performing as intended would be a prolonged procedure duration, tissue damage and/or self-limited bleeding. The most severe potential injury would include immediate or delayed hemorrhage and/or perforation requiring intervention up to and including open surgery; the likelihood of these severe injuries occurring is remote and, to date, have not been reported as a complaint. The potential inability to cut may also lead to inadequate removal of target tissue.
