FDA Recalls (100)
Recalls reported by this firm to the FDA. Listed at company level — FDA recall records don't identify a specific catalogue device.
| Date | Recall No. | Class | Status | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sep 11, 2025 | Z-0147-2026 | — | open, classified | The devices were shipped unsterilized. |
| Apr 22, 2025 | Z-1746-2025 | — | open, classified | Firm has received an increase in reports regarding inadvertent instrument lockout during surgical procedures involving the device. If lockout occurs, the device will momentarily activate but will not cut or staple tissue, and additional steps will be required to open it and remove it from tissue. If user is unable to remove the device from the tissue, potential harms to patient include surgical delay, bleeding/hemorrhage, life threatening hemorrhage/hemorrhagic shock, and conversion to open therapy. Two adverse events received, including one patient death. |
| Mar 7, 2025 | Z-1516-2025 | — | open, classified | Identified curing issues with the silicone during the needles manufacturing process. |
| Mar 7, 2025 | Z-1515-2025 | — | open, classified | Identified curing issues with the silicone during the needles manufacturing process. |

| Jul 9, 2010 | Z-2635-2010 | — | terminated | The weld that connects the electrode to the active rod was separated. This connection is critical to the proper function of these devices. If the weld is separated, the product will not deliver energy to the jaws, resulting in the potential for a cut/transection without a seal. Ethicon Endo-Surgery identified this issue during a routine finished goods quality inspection. |
| Mar 27, 2009 | Z-1068-2011 | — | terminated | The firm initiated this second subsequent recall because the affected devices can remain closed and clamped on tissue during surgical procedures due to the fact that the mechanism which connects the articulation joint to the device shaft is insufficient. |
| Mar 27, 2009 | Z-1069-2011 | — | terminated | The firm initiated this second subsequent recall because the affected devices can remain closed and clamped on tissue during surgical procedures due to the fact that the mechanism which connects the articulation joint to the device shaft is insufficient. |
| Jan 13, 2009 | Z-0361-2011 | — | terminated | The mechanism that connects the articulation joint to the device shaft may cause the jaws of the cutters to remain closed and clamped down on tissue after the device is fired.
