UNIMAX MEDICAL SYSTEMS INC is recalling approximately 81,241 endo retrieval pouches and pockets sold under the Tech Medical Services, UNIMAX, and ConMed Corporation brands. The recall was initiated because the product's tube may fall into a patient's surgical site during the grasping process of a surgery. This defect can lead to foreign objects being left inside a patient's body, which could cause injury or complications if not immediately recovered. These sterile surgical devices were distributed in Georgia, Missouri, and Pennsylvania. If you are a healthcare provider using these devices, you should immediately stop use and contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
The tube component of the retrieval pouch can detach and fall into the surgical field during a procedure. This poses a risk of foreign body retention within the patient, which may require prolonged surgery or additional medical intervention to retrieve the detached part.
