What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II with potential for thermal burn injury and device occlusion. No reported injuries or hospitalizations mentioned in source. Classified as high-risk based on potential harm in surgical context despite absent incident reports.
Plain-English summary
Nico Corp. is recalling 439 NICO Myriad-LX Illumination Packs (REF NN-1000 and NN-1001) distributed nationwide. These surgical accessories support tissue resection and fluid removal under direct visualization using the NICO Myriad System.
The recall addresses two hazards: (1) the delivery sleeve may become completely occluded by tissue or debris, particularly in endonasal surgical approaches, reducing or eliminating light output and compromising surgical visibility; and (2) the distal tip of the fiber-sleeve assembly may cause thermal injury to healthy tissue, potentially resulting in minor to moderate patient injury.
The manufacturer has issued updated instructions for use warning surgeons to avoid contact between the delivery sleeve's distal opening and tissue or debris in the surgical field. If unintended reduction in light output or suspected occlusion occurs during a procedure, both the delivery sleeve and fiber should be replaced immediately.
Healthcare providers using affected lot numbers should review the updated instructions and contact Nico Corp. with questions or to request replacement components.
