What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Plain-English summary
US Endoscopy Group Inc is conducting a voluntary product recall of one lot of the Vari-Safe Injection Needle. The recall involves 36 units of the sterile, single-use flexible sheath device intended for the injection of various types of media through flexible endoscopes.
The recall was initiated because the lot was identified as incorrectly distributed. The lot was assembled with internal catheter components that differ from the original Vari-Safe needle internal catheter components. The source notes that all components are dimensionally similar to the original components and have a history of use on other US Endoscopy needle products.
The affected lot is identified by Model # 00711819 and Lot 1520268. Distribution was limited to the United States (Ohio, Oregon, Washington) and internationally to Italy. The source text does not specify instructions for consumers or healthcare providers regarding the disposition of the recalled units.
