ImaCor Inc. has recalled 73 units of the ClariTEE Probe, a miniature transesophageal echo ultrasound probe used for heart imaging. The recall was initiated because the epoxy used to seal the edge of the transducer exceeded manufacturing specifications, which can weaken the ultrasound signal. This defect may reduce the quality of the diagnostic images obtained during medical procedures, potentially affecting patient care. These probes were distributed to facilities in Florida, Georgia, New Jersey, and Tennessee.
The excess epoxy can interfere with the ultrasound waves, leading to blurry or poor-quality images. This loss of image clarity could result in a healthcare provider missing critical diagnostic information or misinterpreting a patient's condition during a cardiac examination.
