Recalled Product

BVI Visitec Soft Tip Cannula, 0.8MM .50 x 33mm (25G x 1.3 in). The BVI Soft Tip Cannula is intended to irrigate and/or aspirate ophthalmic solutions and liquids in or out of the eye, and remove materials where appropriate (e.g. retinal, subretinal procedures).


Hazard / Issue

Certain lots are missing a protective sheath component over the silicone tip, which may result in the silicone tip breaking or detaching at the metal tube component. If the tip becomes detached during a procedure while in the eye, the fragment will need to be retrieved to mitigate the possibility of injury.
