Other Recalls by Noah Medical

• Class II: Risk 10/28/2024
  Bronchoscopic visualization system power supplies have defective semiconductor components that may fail unexpectedly, which could result in an aborted procedure since it is a non recoverable failure. Manual removal of the bronchoscope when the system is not functioning can increase the chance of injury to the tissues of the lung as the scope is withdrawn including the possibility of pneumothorax.
• Class II: Risk 10/25/2024
  Not all biopsy tools meant to fit bronchoscope channel (2.1mm inner diameter/length greater or equal to 1100mm) will pass through if scope channel positioned in sharp bend (approx. greater than 100-deg.), excessive force may result in tissue injury/pneumothorax; instruments with long rigid distal sections may exhibit insertion resistance when bronchoscope bending section significantly articulated.
