According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

Reason for Recall

As stated by FDA

Firm has revised labeling to consistently call out storage conditions and revised the instructions for use to clarify that the temperature range symbol is intended to indicate storage conditions (versus transport conditions or tolerance conditions for the package material).

Recommended Action

Per FDA guidance

On May 31, 2022, the firm began to contact all affected customer sites. Customers were informed that the way the temperature storage conditions are stated on the labeling of these devices could lead to improper storage that, under certain circumstances, could damage the devices. Synapse will visit customer facilities to place a label with proper storage conditions over the current storage conditions on the device label. Customers who would rather not have a site visit may destroy their devices and Synapse will replace them. The firm will also provide a revised Surgeon Instruction Manual that includes a description of the storage temperature symbol.
