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.

Plain-English summary
Acclarent, Inc. is recalling TruDi NAV Suction Instruments (0-Degree, 70-Degree, and 90-Degree models) due to a calibration error. A total of 1,543 units were distributed across the United States.
The affected instruments may not meet the system's accuracy specification for visual verification of device location during surgery. These instruments are used in surgical procedures where precise location tracking is critical.
If a surgeon does not detect the calibration error during the procedure, serious complications could occur, including tissue damage, damage to the carotid artery, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak, or damage to the optic nerve. The error could also cause intraprocedural delay.
Patients who have received procedures using these instruments should consult their surgeon. Healthcare providers should identify affected instruments using the lot numbers provided and cease use of affected units.
