Reason for recall
Intraosseous nerve ablation system instruments may have sterile barrier breach of the outer tray seal, which may introduce a risk of sterility breach, and if breached could lead to severe infection.
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.
