Description

CRYO-206V and CRYO-206F Procedure Kit, which includes: Cryo Probes, Urethral Catheter, and temperature probes. Kit is intended to be used with the CryoCare Surgical System for freezing/ablating tissue by extreme cold temperatures.

Reason

HealthTronics has initiated this recall of these products because there have been instances where the temperature probes (aka TempProbes) in the kit may be mislabeled. In some instances, the label near the prove does not match the label at the connector. If the labeling error went undetected, the TempProbes would not be monitoring temperature in the area believed to be under surveillance.
