Reason for recall
Discrepancies between sterilization instructions in the Japanese language product package inserts and those published in the manufacturer product Instructions For Use (IFU).
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.
Product as listed by the FDA
Green Silicone Seal for Accessories, Reusable Silicone Seal 0 - 7 FR. Model Number: CS-G7. The reusable silicone seals fit over the biopsy port of endoscopes to seal off the working channel. Some contain a lumen which allows instruments to be passed through the seal and minimize or prevent fluid leakage during endoscopic procedures.
Where it was distributed
International distribution to the country of Japan.
