Reason

Voluntary recall due to the potential for a device to contain a damaged internal component which could impede staple deployment. Use of a device with this issue may result in incomplete staple formation and a nonfunctional staple line preventing adequate hemostasis, or leading to anastomotic leak, pneumothorax, tissue damage, or other delayed secondary complications including infection, peritonitis, and sepsis.
