Leoni Fiber Optics Recalls Single-Use Laser Fibers Due to Broken Seals

Leoni Fiber Optics is recalling single-use laser fibers in SmartScope packaging due to broken seals that compromise sterility and increase infection risk.

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.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (sterile medical device) where injury (infection) has not yet been reported, but the hazard is significant due to compromised sterility.

Plain-English summary

Leoni Fiber Optics GmbH is recalling single-use laser fiber assemblies (LFS-272-RT-0.22NA-SMA905) packaged in SmartScope single-box packaging. The recall is due to a potential broken package seal, which compromises the sterility of the device. These laser peripherals are intended for use in laser surgical procedures for cutting, coagulating, or vaporizing soft tissue.

The FDA has received two reports of compromised sterility. However, the agency notes that all products packaged in SmartScope single-box packaging are at risk of a compromised product seal. If a device with a broken seal is used, it could increase the risk of infection.

The affected products were distributed in the state of Ohio. Users should check their inventory for the specific product codes 096874 and 00816901020265. If the package seal is broken, the device should not be used.
