Conical portio adapter (acorn) small & large are used for examination and diagnosis in conjunction with endoscopic accessories in gynecological laparoscopy, to determine patency of the fallopian tubes.

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.

The hazard

The distal end of the Conical portio adapter (acorn) is composed of a small cap (head) that partially sits inside a hollow shaft (tube). These two parts are welded together to create one piece. In the impacted batches of product, the weld was improperly performed. As a result, the two pieces are not properly joined. This potential failure can result in the separation of the two pieces. The possible separation of these two components presents a potential risk to patients.
