Reported risk: This recall activity is restricted to corrective action regarding the standard tip suction wand. Due to an insufficient adhesive application, the Distal Tip has the potential to come loose from the wand and fall into the patient's chest cavity during surgery. This would likely be identified during, or prior to, the procedure.
