Timeline
| 11 Apr 2023 | Recall initiated by company | |
| 5 May 2023 | Classified by FDA | +24 days |

Companies usually start a recall weeks before the FDA classifies and publishes it; the gap above is that lag.
Reason for recall
Coaxial cannula internal diameter and length of biopsy instruments exceed the external diameter and length of the biopsy needle, prohibiting the biopsy needle from properly fitting into the coaxial cannula and accessing the target tissue, which could lead to procedure delay, and insufficient sample acquisition requiring a repeat procedure.
Lead and other heavy metals accumulate in the body. Children are most at risk; even low levels can affect development.
