Reported risk: Applied Medical is conducting a voluntary recall of one specific lot of the CA500 Epix universal clip applier due to a potential loading mechanism non-conformance. This may lead to clips not loading into the jaws, requiring the user to actuate the trigger again to load a clip as per the instructions for use. Patient harm is unlikely if the device is used as indicated in the instructions for use.
