    Description

    Integra CUSA excel. CEM Nosecone for CUSA EXcel System. The CEM Nosecone is intended for use CUSA Excel/CUSA Excel + Ultrasonic Surgical Aspiration System, CUSA handpiece, and Covidien Force FX Electrosurgical Generator. Used in surgical procedures where combined ultrasonic dissection and electrosurgical coagulation is desired, either simultaneously or independently.

    Reason

    There is a potential for erosion of the CUSA EXcel tip used with the Nosecone. Specifically, the potential for tip erosion occurs when using a CUSA CEM Nosecone if the side of the tip, rather than the annulus of the tip, is in contact with the tissue. This erosion can potentially lead to tip breakage. There were no reports of a patient injury associated with these complaints.
