Ethicon Endo-Surgery Inc Jun-11-2013 ECHELON 60mm Endoscopic Linear Cutter Reloads Black – ECHELON 60mm Endoscopic Linear Cutter Reloads Black in Flexible Blister pack with Tyvek lid.The ECHELON and ECHELON FLEX families of Endoscopic Linear Cutters (articulating and straight) are sterile; single patient use instruments that simultaneously cut and staple tissue. There are six staggered rows of staples; three on either side of the cut line. The ECHELON 60 instruments have a staple line that is approximately 60 mm long and a cut line that is approximately 57 mm long. The shaft can rotate freely in both directions and an articulation mechanism on articulating instruments enables bending the distal portion of the shaft to facilitate lateral access of the operative site. The instruments are shipped without a reload and must be loaded prior to use. A staple retaining cap on the reload protects the staple leg points during shipping and transportation. The instruments’¿" lock-out feature is designed to prevent a used reload from being refired. Ethicon Endo-Surgery is initiating a voluntary worldwide recall for ECHELON 60mm Black Reload (ECR60T) due to the potential for incomplete staple line formation from reload damage during the firing sequence.
