Reason for Recall

As a result of complaint data review, it identified tissue pushout events occurring during firing of the SureForm stapler when tissue is pushed distally within the jaws, rather than being held in place and transected. Overall rate of harm associated with bleeding of critical severity exceeds the predicted likelihood of harm as documented within Intuitives existing risk documentation.
