Endoscopic Access Overtube May Cause Dangerous Pressure Buildup During Procedures
Trokamed's endoscopic access overtube may cause rapid pressure buildup in the kidney if inflow speed is too fast. The device can become obstructed by tissue and blood fragments, restricting outflow.
What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: FDA Class I classification requires a minimum severity rating of Severe (4). The device poses risk of intrarenal pressure buildup due to flow obstruction during endoscopic procedures.
Plain-English summary
Trokamed GmbH is recalling the Sheath 20 Fr., 130 mm (REF: WA2PS20S) gastroenterology-urology endoscopic access overtube.
The device poses a risk of dangerous pressure buildup inside the kidney (intrarenal pressure) if the inflow speed is too rapid during use. When inflow speed exceeds safe limits, outflow through the shaft can become restricted due to accumulation of blood, tissue fragments, and kidney stone fragments. This blockage can cause rapid pressure buildup that may result in patient harm.
