Beaver Visitec International, Inc. has recalled 2,160 units of the Xstar Kojo Safety Slit Knife, 2.5mm 45° Bevel Up (Part Number 373025). The recall was initiated because some packages incorrectly contain a bevel down blade instead of the intended bevel up blade. Using a blade with an incorrect orientation during surgical procedures could lead to unintended surgical outcomes or injury to the patient.
The device contains a blade oriented in the opposite direction (bevel down) than what is labeled on the packaging (bevel up). This defect can cause the surgeon to make an incorrect incision or damage tissue during medical procedures because the cutting edge is not positioned as expected.
