Quick summary

This Bard Marquee disposable core biopsy kit takes tissue samples through a needle during procedures. The 28 reports mostly describe the needle not fitting or getting stuck in the kit's coaxial introducer, sometimes requiring another device to finish; 2 mention a collapsed lung and there were no deaths. Two recalls name this device: an open one from August 2023 over a diameter mismatch between cannula and needle that can block reaching target tissue, and a closed one from January 2021 because the penetration depth switch detached during use.

Recalls naming this device

  1. Aug 10, 2023Open, Classified

    Diameter mismatch between coaxial and biopsy needle (cutting cannula) in disposable core biopsy instrument kits, where the coaxial cannula inner diameter prohibits the biopsy needle (cutting cannula) from properly fitting into the coaxial cannula and accessing target tissue, which may lead to repeated procedure, and procedural complications, such as pain/discomfort, pneumothorax, and bleeding.

  2. Jan 14, 2021Terminated

    Due to the Penetration Depth Switch used to select the desired penetration depth of the biopsy needle for soft tissue biopsies, detaches from the device during use.
