| Issue: | The manufacturer has received complaints that the inner pouch for the specified lots of polypectomy snare devices impacted by this removal may have an incomplete seal which could result in a sterile barrier breach rendering the device non-sterile. The most common health risk is a negligible prolongation in procedure in order to exchange for another device. Use of a polypectomy snare from a package with a sterile barrier breach may present a remote potential for a risk of infection. |
