Fischer Cone Biopsy Excisor recalled for potential temperature damage
McKesson is recalling Fischer Cone Biopsy Excisor Model 900-157 units because temperature excursions during storage may have compromised product effectiveness.
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: This is an FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations. The hazard is theoretical—temperature exposure 'may have' impacted effectiveness, but actual product failures or patient harm have not been reported.
