Description

ASC PneumoLiner device, Part No. WA90500US (US market only) The Pneumoliner device is intended for use as a multiple instrument port and tissue containment system during minimally invasive gynecologic laparoscopic surgery to enable the isolation and containment of tissue, considered benign, resected during single-port or multi- site laparoscopic surgery during power morcellation and removal.

Reason

Due to manufacturing error, the Pneumoliner Bag Distal Tab that exits the Introducer shaft is in the wrong orientation. This results in the user deploying the bag upside down, which will make tissue encapsulation and bag closure more difficult, introducing the risk of trapping the small bowel/viscera in the bag at closure resulting in patient injury.
