Timeline

Reason for recall

Sterile Passive spheres and biopsy needle kits contain variation in the reflective material which may affect the ability of the navigation system to detect and track the spheres.

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.
