Noah Medical has recalled 26 units of its Galaxy Bronchoscopic System (model GAL-001) because a defective component in the power supply may cause the system to lose power suddenly and without warning. This unrecoverable power loss can occur whether the system is plugged into a wall outlet or running on its internal battery. Noah Medical has voluntarily initiated this recall via notification letters to all affected medical facilities to prevent potential procedural failures.
A power failure during a bronchoscopy procedure could force doctors to manually remove the device from the patient's lungs. This manual removal process increases the risk of serious complications, including lung injury or a collapsed lung (pneumothorax).
Quantity: 26 units affected.
