"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
