Recalled Products

1. Haloflex Energy Generator

Reason

There is a generator malfunction where Haloflex Energy Generator failed to enter "Standby mode" when initially powered-on (plugged in and turned on).  During normal use when the device is powered-on, the generator automatically sequences through a "Power-on self test" to check for proper function.  If the generator passes the self- test, it enters standby mode, displays "Ready, connect catheter" and is ready for use.  Patient injury has not been seen with this malfunction.
