Miniaturized TEE probes recalled over reversed articulation from assembly error
ImaCor is recalling 45 ClariTEE miniaturized TEE probes after a production assembly error left articulation reversed, so moving the lever forward anteflexed the tip instead of retroflexing it.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: Scored 3 under the risk-of-harm criterion: a probe that flexes opposite to the operator's control input inside a patient is a physical hazard, and no injuries are reported.
