Reports come from manufacturers, hospitals and patients and are not verified by the FDA. A report does not prove the device caused the event. Widely used products collect more reports, so totals can't be used to compare products or estimate failure rates. Only reports that name a model's exact device identifier are counted.

- Apr 28, 2023Open, Classified
Teleflex LLC is initiating this voluntary field corrective action because the clip cartridges for the affected product is missing a key feature that restricts the application of the clip to the applier. With this step feature missing on the cartridge, the clip is mounted in a more variable position, allowing the clips to load farther back in the clip applier jaw grooves. This may potentially result in inappropriate or inadequate clip application to vascular structures.
