Plain-English summary

Angiodynamics, Inc. is recalling 14,353 units of the Accu2i pMTA Microwave Tissue Ablation Applicator, 29 cm LONG (REF/Catalog # 900-601, Model # H7879006010). The recalled 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 affected lots were distributed worldwide and nationwide in the United States.

When this condition occurs, the microwave generator displays an error code for High Reflective Power.

Healthcare providers and facilities should identify any affected units by checking the lot numbers listed in the recall notice. If a device is found to be affected, it should be removed from service and returned to Angiodynamics, Inc. according to the firm's instructions.
