Bovie Medical is issuing a correction to address incomplete insertion of the J-Plasma(R) handpiece cable plug into the generator receptacle resulting in an incomplete helium seal. The potential exists for patient fluid backflow into the handpiece and the generator receptacle leading to risk of cross-contamination if the generator is reused.
