MicroSurgical Technology Inc is recalling approximately 24 MST Duet Reusable Handles for Single Use Heads because a pin on the handle can detach. This recall affects Model DFH-1028, specifically lot 160458. These reusable handles are used by surgeons during ophthalmic procedures with interchangeable forceps or scissor heads. While no injuries or incidents have been reported to date, the manufacturer is initiating this voluntary recall to prevent potential surgical complications. The company notified affected customers via letter.
If the pin detaches during a surgical procedure, it could fall into the patient's surgical site or cause the instrument to fail, potentially leading to eye injury, surgical delays, or the need for additional medical intervention.
Product Codes HNF or HNR (Regulation Number 886.4350) may apply as the handle can be used with both scissors and forceps heads.
