High Flow Irrigation Extender; Part Number 72201021. Arthroscopic accessories are indicated for use in access of the joint capsule.
During arthroscopic surgery, when the scope is moved inside the cannula, the body of the irrigation extender separates, potentially obstructing visualization and causing leakage of the irrigation fluid. The device is removed and a back-up device is used to complete the surgery.
These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.
