Devicor Mammotome Revolve Biopsy System Recalled for Missing Labeling

Devicor Medical Products Inc is recalling 320 Mammotome Revolve Dual Vacuum Assist Biopsy Systems because they lack required probe labeling, product codes, and sterilization stickers.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the hazard involves missing labeling and sterilization stickers, which is a moderate risk of harm but does not meet the criteria for Severe (Class II with hospitalization) or High (high-risk pathogens).

Plain-English summary

Devicor Medical Products Inc is recalling 320 units of the Mammotome Revolve Dual Vacuum Assist Biopsy System. This medical device is used to sample breast tissue identified as suspicious under imaging guidance.

The recall was initiated because the affected devices did not have Revolve Stereo Probe labeling, lacked product codes indicating the size and length of the probe, and were missing sterilization stickers or lot numbers. These labeling deficiencies prevent proper identification and verification of the device's sterilization status.

The devices were distributed worldwide, including in the United States (Iowa, Illinois, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and West Virginia) and internationally to Chile and Brazil. Healthcare facilities and consumers should stop using these devices and contact Devicor Medical Products Inc for further instructions.
