Reason for recall
A gap in the housing of the wireless foot switch could potentially result in liquids penetrating the interior. Such liquids may include disinfectants, cleaning agents and/ or bodily fluids. In rare cases, the introduction of liquids in the wireless foot switch housing could result in the failure of the foot switch.
FDA-determined cause: Process control
Action taken
A Customer Safety Advisory Notice (CSAN) was mailed to affected customers on 02/27/2017 to inform them of the issue. The notice provided information on what actions to take should the foot switch fail to function, the risks involved and what corrective actions they are taking to fix the issue.
