Plain-English summary

Trokamed GmbH is recalling the Sheath, 18 Fr., 130 mm (REF: WA2PS18S), an endoscopic access overtube used in gastroenterology and urology procedures. This is a FDA Class I recall of 53 units with lot number 159825.

The recall addresses a hazard with fluid inflow control during endoscopic procedures. If the inflow speed is too quick, the outflow through the shaft may be reduced due to blockage from blood, tissue fragments, or kidney stone fragments. This can result in a rapid buildup of pressure inside the kidney (intrarenal pressure).

The product was distributed in the United States (Pennsylvania) and internationally to Germany. Healthcare facilities and practitioners who have received this product should contact the manufacturer for guidance on next steps.
