Reason for Recall

The recall was initiated because Karl Storz has confirmed that the Photodynamic Diagnosis (PDD) D-Light C System instruction manuals have important safety-related changes.

Firm Action

A Safety Alert letter, dated 8/16/12, was sent to all their customers to inform them that there is a labeling error in which important safety-related changes were made to the KARL STORZ Photodynamic Diagnosis (PDD) D-Light C System instruction manuals. The correct Ethylene Oxide (EtO) Sterilization set point for Relative Humidity should read, =70% RH. The correction applies to the PDD Camera Head instruction manual, PDD Rigid Telescopes instruction manual, and Tricam SL II instruction manual, the three component manuals indicated for use within the KARL STORZ Photodynamic Diagnosis (PDD) D-Light C System. The letter instructed the customers to place each of the three enclosed stickers, in the appropriate instruction manual. Customers are instructed to cover the erroneous information with the provided stickers as indicated. Customers with any questions regarding the proper use of the device, are instructed to contact Karl Storz's Technical Support Department at 800-421-0837, Ext. 5350, during office hours; or Ext. 7222, 24 hours/7 days a week for emergencies.
