Why these products were recalled

The term Bladder Stone was incorrectly translated in both Spanish and Portuguese to Kidney Stone(Clculo renal) on the systems Graphical User Interface (GUI), a potential to deliver an incorrect or unintended amount of energy to the patients anatomy.

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.
