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 is classified as FDA Class II, and the hazard involves a risk of harm (inability to remove biological residuals) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria.
Plain-English summary
Cosman Medical, LLC is recalling Nitinol TC Reusable Electrodes (TCN) under FDA recall number Z-0687-2018. The affected devices are indicated for use in radiofrequency (RF) heat lesioning of peripheral nerve tissue only. The recall involves 11,250 units distributed in the United States and Canada.
The recall is being conducted because, after multiple reprocessing cycles, the epoxy resin that holds the electrode in the hub can exhibit signs of damage. In some cases, this damage may result in the inability to fully remove blood and/or tissue residuals prior to cleaning and re-sterilizing the device. This issue could compromise the device's ability to be properly cleaned and re-sterilized.
Healthcare facilities and users should stop using the affected TCN electrodes and contact Cosman Medical for instructions on how to return the devices. The specific model numbers and lot numbers affected are listed in the official FDA recall notice.
