Covidien Signia Small Diameter Curved Tip Intelligent Reload 45 mm Vascular/Thin 8 mm - Long Item Code: SIGSDL45CTVT

Reason: Potential for the device safety interlock to fail. The safety interlock prevents an empty single-use reload from being erroneously fired a second time. If the safety interlock fails and the empty single-use reload is fired a second time, the stapler may cut tissue but no staples will deploy from the empty reload, potentially resulting in a failed anastomosis, bleeding, tissue trauma, and the potential need to convert to an open procedure.
