Reason for recall
Endologix is notifying physicians of patient tailored surveillance recommendations as well as general warnings/precautions for interventions to or through an existing AFX device. This is a follow-up notification to the one that was sent out in December 2016. The updates are related to the observation of Type III endoleaks.
A sterility recall means a product that must be sterile, such as an injection or eye drop, may be contaminated. Using a non-sterile product can cause serious infection.
