Why these products were recalled

Biopsy Systems have components that are misaligned due to an issue with the manufacturing assembly equipment, which may lead to the needle ejecting when triggered outside the body, which may result in user or patient needle stick injury.

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
