Myoscience iovera Smart Tip Recalled for Missing US Labeling Requirements
Myoscience Inc is recalling three iovera Smart Tip units because their labels lacked required US regulatory text and symbols.
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: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text identifies the issue as a labeling error (missing regulatory text and symbols) rather than a functional defect or contamination, aligning with the rubric for minor labeling errors.
Plain-English summary
Myoscience Inc is recalling three units of the Myoscience brand iovera Smart Tip, also known as the Myoscience Cryo-Touch IV. The affected devices are cryogenic surgical instruments used to destroy tissue during surgical procedures by applying freezing cold. The specific units involved have serial numbers 100100, 100101, and 100103, and were distributed in the United States, including California and Idaho.
The recall was initiated because the outer box labels for these products were marked with a down revision label that did not include specific US labeling requirements. Specifically, the labels were missing symbol descriptors and the mandatory statement: "Caution: Federal Law (USA) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician." The source text notes that this product was previously labeled for EU distribution only.
Healthcare providers and facilities that may have received these specific serial numbers should contact Myoscience Inc for further instructions. Consumers should not use the device if they possess one of the affected serial numbers.
