Plain-English summary

Nico Corp. is recalling six units of the NICO Myriad Console, model number NN-7000. The Myriad System is a surgical device designed for the morcellation and removal of soft tissue during pelviscopic, laparoscopic, percutaneous, and open surgical procedures. The specific units affected have serial numbers 00231, 00232, 00242, 00245, 00248, and 00250.

The recall was initiated because two cables within the console were inadvertently twisted during manufacturing. This defect may cause the individual wires within the cables to break or contact one another where the cables terminate into connectors. Such wire breaks or short circuits can result in various types of console malfunction, including an unexpected increase in aspiration.

The affected units were distributed in the United States to the states of Maryland, Indiana, California, and North Carolina. Users of these devices should contact Nico Corp. for further instructions regarding the recall and replacement of the affected consoles.
