  • openFDA Device Enforcement Report-date coverage June 20, 2012–July 08, 2026 Known gap: openFDA describes 2004-present coverage, but the current export has no report-date records in this interval.
  • openFDA Device Recall event_date_initiated coverage June 01, 1997–June 30, 2026

Enforcement coverage uses report dates; product initiation dates can precede those bounds. Device-enrichment coverage uses FDA event_date_initiated.

Inspect official wording and provenance

Reason for recall

The staplers may contain an out of specification anvil component within the jaw of the device. This condition may lead to malformed staples, which can compromise staple line integrity. If the staple line is compromised, there is a potential risk of prolonged surgery, postoperative anastomotic leak, hemorrhage, hemorrhagic shock, additional surgical intervention, or death.
