Reason for Recall

The firm initiated this recall of one lot (121402) of nanoPOINT Injectors after they noticed that Tyvek lids might have been damaged and, therefore, the stability of the sterile barrier might be negatively affected.

Firm Action

Medicel AG sent recall notification to its one direct consignee via email on 08/05/2013. The recall notification letter was titled "URGENT-Medical Device Correction Notice for nanoPOINT Injectors LOT 121402". The recall notification letter informed the customer of the product device description and lot number recalled, reason for recall, instructions to "not use this affected lot...and return them", contact information and an area on the bottom of the letter to acknowledge receipt of the correction notice. The firm's direct consignee who further distributed this product to the end users will send out notifications.
