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: This is an FDA Class II recall of a critical endoscopic device. The mechanical failures documented—inability to advance or retract the basket or drive wire breakage—could compromise the device's intended function and pose patient safety risks, although no adverse events are reported in the source.
