Why these products were recalled

The EsophaCap sponge may be at increased risk of detaching from the string during removal of the device from the patient, particularly at the lower esophageal sphincter at the gastroesophageal junction or the upper esophageal sphincter between the pharynx and the esophagus, which is the narrowest part of the alimentary canal.

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.
