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.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text describes a functional failure (lack of energy delivery) with no reported injuries, illnesses, or deaths, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity precautionary recall.

Plain-English summary

Angiodynamics, Inc. is recalling 14,353 units of the Accu2i pMTA Microwave Tissue Ablation Applicator, 14 cm STANDARD (REF/Catalog # 900-600, Model # H7879006000). The affected sterile applicators are indicated for the intraoperative coagulation of soft tissue and are intended for use only with a Sulis V Generator (REF 806-10). The recall covers specific lots distributed worldwide and across the United States.

The recall is being conducted because the product has the potential to not function during use. Coolant ingress in an electrical connection may prevent the applicator from delivering the desired microwave energy. This condition results in an error code labeled "High Reflective Power" being displayed on the microwave generator.

Healthcare providers and facilities that have purchased or received these specific lots should stop using the affected applicators and contact Angiodynamics, Inc. for further instructions on how to return or dispose of the product. Patients who have undergone procedures using these devices should consult their healthcare provider if they have concerns about the procedure's outcome.
