Carefusion 2200 Inc. has recalled 92 units of various Snowden-Pencer MIS Diamond-Touch endoscopic surgical instruments, including graspers, dissectors, and clamps. These medical devices are being recalled because the rotation knob can crack or break during surgery due to the use of an incorrect adhesive during manufacturing. If the knob breaks while being used in a procedure, it could lead to surgical delays or leave the device in an unusable state while inside a patient.
A broken rotation knob on a surgical grasper or clamp can prevent a surgeon from properly controlling the instrument during a procedure, potentially causing internal tissue damage or requiring additional medical intervention to complete the surgery safely.
