# FDA recall Z-1663-2023

> **TELEFLEX LLC** · Class II · device recall initiated 2023-04-28.

## Product

Teleflex HORIZON Microclip Titanium Ligating Clips w/tape, REF 005200; for use in general surgical procedures that require vessel or tissue ligation

## Reason for recall

Teleflex LLC is initiating this voluntary field corrective action because the clip cartridges for the affected product is missing a key feature that restricts the application of the clip to the applier. With this step feature missing on the cartridge, the clip is mounted in a more variable position, allowing the clips to load farther back in the clip applier jaw grooves. This may potentially result in inappropriate or inadequate clip application to vascular structures.
