This can result in unforseen events such as mucosal injury, lacerations, or bleeding of the patient. Detachment of the distal end cap (OE-A63) into the oral cavity of the patient may also result in aspirationClass IITerminated

Z-1327-2019Pentax Medical C2 CryoBalloon Standard 90 degree Catheter, Model FG 1030, Sterile, RX. Product Usage: The C2 CryoBalloon Ablation System is intended to be used as a cryosurgical tool in the field of general surgery, specifically for endoscopic application and the ablation of dysplastic Barrett s Esophagus. The system includes the following components: (1) CryoBalloon Catheter connects to the Controller, which controls the operation of the Catheter such as diffuser (sprayer) positioning and ablation (nitrous oxide release); (2) CryoBalloon Controller contains the cartridge heater and cryogen delivery valve, which is controlled with the foot pedal; (3) Foot Pedal; and (4) CryoBalloon Cartridge containing 36 grams of nitrous oxide.Incorrect default dose and dose increments may be transmitted to the controller if the catheter RFID tag is not correct or is not being correctly or completely readable by the controller.Class IITerminated

Z-0970-2019C2 CryoBalloon Controller, REF: FG-1017, with Controller Software v1.18.258 The C2 CryoBalloon Ablation System is intended to be used as a cryosurgical tool in the field of general surgery, specifically for endoscopic application and the ablation of dysplastic Barrett s Esophagus.The Controller does not detect overpressure in the balloon during the application of non-dosing puffs of Nitrous Oxide, which can contribute to balloon over pressurization, if the intended vent lumen of the catheter is significantly occluded to prevent relieving balloon pressure due to a kinked catheter condition.If a patient is exposed to higher than physiologic pressures, adverse events such as perforation or mucosal laceration may occur.Class IITerminated
Z-2256-2018C2 CryoBalloon Focal Catheter, REF FG-1009. C2 CryoBalloon Ablation System is used as a cryosurgical tool in the field of general surgery, specifically for endoscopic applications.The catheter alignment arrow printed onto the strain relief is not aligned with the detachment feature of the catheter connector, resulting in the potential for the catheter to be attached to the controller in the detach orientation. In this orientation, the catheter is not securely attached to the controller and may be partially (~1cm) ejected from controller.Class IITerminated

Verification record

There is no verification record for this company. Most companies on this site have none: a record exists only where a company asked to be verified and MDM ran the checks, so the absence of one says nothing about the company.

Where there is a record, this is where it appears: what was checked, when it was checked, and the current status. An MDM Verified badge on another website links to a verify address on this domain that resolves to this section. A badge that does not resolve here is not ours.
