Description

Esaote Endocavity ultrasonic probe, Model E 3-12, REF 120000038

Reason

A potential weakness has been identified in the probe body, so that, in a specific production batch, liquid may leak from the terminal part of the casing near the cable.

Action

Esaote issued a Field Safety Notice to its consignees on 3/14/2025 via FedEx. The notice explained the problem with the device, potential risk of use and requested the following: "Actions to be performed by the user " If the operator detects the issue during the inspection, they must NOT use the probe and should contact Esaote's technical support. " Please distribute this Safety Notice to all personnel involved within your organization and to all users of the device. " If the device is no longer in your possession, please provide Esaote with the new owner's details or inform us about the current status of the device.
