| Issue: | There is a chance that the connection between the tube and the tip is faulty. This can lead to the tip loosening during use. The resulting risk for the patient, is that the tip could be left behind in the treated area or could be inhaled, which may lead to a severe health impairment for the patient. To date we are not aware of such a case. There is no (increased risk) for patients that have already been treated with the affected products. The risk exists only for the batches identified as affected. |
