Plain-English summary
Wilson-Cook Medical Inc. is recalling 89,423 units of the HEMO-7 Hemospray Endoscopic Hemostat. The recall includes all lot numbers manufactured between January 16, 2017, and January 15, 2020, for both the HEMO-7 (Order Number G56572) and HEMO-10 (Order Number G21049) models. The devices were distributed nationwide and internationally to numerous countries.
The recall is due to complaints that the handle and/or activation knob on the hemostat devices have cracked or broken when the device is activated. In some cases, this failure caused the carbon dioxide cartridge to exit the handle. While most complaints reported the cartridge exiting with minimal force, some reported that the cartridge exited with the potential to project towards a user or a patient.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has classified this as a Class II recall. Users should stop using the affected devices and contact Wilson-Cook Medical for instructions on return or replacement.
