Product Description
Bard Marquee Disposable Core Biopsy Instrument Kit, REF: MQK2016
Reason for Recall
Diameter mismatch between coaxial and biopsy needle (cutting cannula) in disposable core biopsy instrument kits, where the coaxial cannula inner diameter
prohibits the biopsy needle (cutting cannula) from properly fitting into the coaxial cannula and accessing
