Cook Medical Llc has recalled 14 units in the U.S. and 101 units internationally of the MINC+ Benchtop Incubator (Reference Part Number K-MINC-2000). The device is susceptible to losing its temperature control if static electricity is applied to the lid. This malfunction can cause embryo degeneration, which may require the patient to undergo additional medical procedures. Consumers should contact Cook Medical or their healthcare provider for further instructions regarding this equipment.
Static electricity applied to the incubator lid can disrupt the device's temperature regulation. This loss of heat control can damage or destroy developing embryos, leading to failed medical cycles and the need for patients to repeat invasive procedures.
