Adverse-event reports (MAUDE)
Read this first: MAUDE report counts cannot be used to compute incidence rates or compare device safety. Reporting is incomplete, duplicated, and spikes with publicity; there is no denominator of devices in use. The peer line shows reporting volume for the average device in the same FDA product code — a reporting baseline, not a risk measure.
No adverse-event reports are linked to this device.

| 2017-07-07 | Z-0351-2018 | Class II | Terminated | The firm is implementing a product correction involving its Affirm Lateral Arm Upright Biopsy Accessory, ASY-09880. The correction has been initiated due to a component (the Left-hand Guide or the Blue Needle Guide) issue that could impact needle alignment for all the left-approach lateral biopsy procedures. This may have an impact on the position of the needle within the breast, and thus on the aspiration of the intended tissue. This impact is case-dependent and detectable when imagining is used to confirm needle position and/or tissue acquisition during and after a procedure. There are no known instances of illness or injury.Distribution: US and OUS | 12 (U.S.) | code info di |
