Xintec OptiLITE Laser Fiber Assembly Recall Due to Programming Error

Xintec Corp is recalling 45 OptiLITE laser fiber assemblies because they were programmed incorrectly. The devices will produce an error and prevent laser use.

What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, and the defect results in the device failing to operate (producing an error) rather than causing a safety hazard or injury.

Plain-English summary

Xintec Corp is recalling 45 units of OptiLITE, Products for Laser Surgery, Model # CGH1080F. These are 800 micron single-use holmium fiber assemblies with flat tips, identified by Lot Number 21144 and UDI 00855430006036. The devices were sterilized by Sterrad Run 4149 and have a use-by date of 08/10/2021.

The recall was initiated because the fiber lasers in this lot were programmed incorrectly. As a result, the fibers will produce an error message and will not allow the user to operate the laser when plugged in. This is a functional defect that prevents the device from performing its intended function.

The affected units were distributed in Pennsylvania (PA) and Virginia (VA). Users of these specific laser fiber assemblies should stop using them and contact Xintec Corp for further instructions.
