Plain-English summary
ConMed Corporation is recalling Sterile Handpiece Sheaths (P/N 7-796-19) included in the Accessory Packages for the HYFRECATOR 2000 Electrosurgical Unit (ESU) cartons. The recall affects the 220 VOLTS AC units with REF/Catalog Number 7-900-220. The Hyfrecator 2000 Electrosurgical Units themselves are not affected by this recall.
The recall was initiated because the accessory packages were packaged in error by the manufacturer. Non-sterile handpiece sheaths were placed in pouches that were labeled as sterile. This packaging error could cause an end user to use a non-sterile sheath as if it were sterile.
The affected products were distributed worldwide, including in the United States (nationwide), Australia, Canada, Germany, Italy, the UK, Great Britain, and Ireland. Users should check their inventory for the specific serial numbers listed in the official recall notice and stop using the affected sheaths.
