    Reason

    ConMed received complaints from a user facility reporting that the WANG Transbronchial Aspiration Needles would not insert properly through the instrument channel of a 2.0 mm bronchoscope. If the device will not fit through the instrument channel of a 2.0 mm bronchoscope, it must be replaced with an alternate device and could result in minor inconvenience to the user.
