Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Avanos Medical is recalling 24 units of its COOLIEF RF Generator, an 80-watt medical device used for radio-frequency lesioning procedures. The recall was initiated because the manufacturer received an increase in reports of the devices displaying F100 and F101 system faults. These technical errors can interrupt medical procedures and may prevent the device from operating as intended during patient treatment.

Risk

The F100 and F101 faults represent system errors that can cause the generator to malfunction or stop working during a procedure. This may lead to treatment delays or incomplete medical procedures for patients undergoing radio-frequency therapy.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if your medical facility has a COOLIEF RF Generator with any of the following serial numbers: STZ22277-006 through STZ22277-029, or STZ22318-001.
  2. If you identify an affected unit, contact your healthcare provider or Avanos Medical, Inc. to determine if the device is safe for continued use or requires service.
  3. Check the device display for F100 or F101 fault messages; if these appear, the device may require technical intervention.
  4. Contact Avanos Medical at 5405 Windward Pkwy, Alpharetta, Georgia, 30004-3894 for specific instructions regarding the repair or replacement of affected units.
