Covidien HysteroLux Fluid Management System Control Unit, REF: 72205000

Reported: October 6, 2021 Initiated: June 18, 2021 #Z-2561-2021

Product Description

Covidien HysteroLux Fluid Management System Control Unit, REF: 72205000

Reason for Recall

When the display of inflow volume to the uterus reaches 32450 ml, the fluid management system control unit display will freeze because the internal software calculation threshold is reached. The outflow measurement will continue, and so the deficit accumulated up to this point will start counting backwards to 0 ml. There is a risk of distention fluid reaching the soft tissue circulatory system.
