Pyng Quickly Recalls FASTx

Pyng Medical has voluntarily recalled the first 400 FASTx sternal intraosseous devices that were sent to distributors after it received reports of inconsistent performance during some early training sessions. Shipment of the device is on hold as the company gets to the root of the problem.

"This voluntary recall was initiated because it is simply the right thing to do when there is any question regarding the performance of a medical device," said Pyng president and CEO Mark Hodge in a statement. "The Pyng technical team is working rapidly to analyze these events and determine a course of action. We will ensure that the FASTx(TM) Sternal Intraosseous Device is performing as we expect it to perform and will provide ongoing updates." —Lawrence Lloyd
