Plain-English summary
Wilson-Cook Medical Inc. is recalling 89,423 units of the HEMO-10 Hemospray Endoscopic Hemostat. The recall covers 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 across the Americas, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
The recall was initiated due to complaints that the handle and/or activation knob on the hemostat devices cracked or broke when the device was activated. In some cases, this failure caused the carbon dioxide cartridge to exit the handle. While most reports indicated the cartridge exited with minimal force, some complaints noted 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. Consumers and healthcare providers should stop using the affected devices and contact Wilson-Cook Medical Inc. for further instructions on return or replacement.
