Plain-English summary

Channel Medsystems, Inc. is recalling 281 units of the Cerene Cryotherapy Device (model FGS-7000), an endometrial ablation device used during gynecological procedures to reduce menstrual bleeding. The device is a single-use, disposable medical device that delivers cryothermic energy through liquid nitrous oxide (N2O) to freeze and ablate endometrial tissue.

The recall is issued because the evaporator gasket may not seal properly. When the gasket fails to seal, liquid nitrous oxide can drip or leak from the bottom of the device handle during the treatment procedure or after treatment during the venting process.

The recalled devices were distributed nationwide to healthcare facilities in Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, North Carolina, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, Tennessee, and Texas.
