Covidien’s Duet TRS cartridges are tissue reinforcement devices used with Covidien’s Endo GIA Universal range of laproscopic staplers. According to the company, about 500,000 of the single-use Duet TRS devices have been sold worldwide since January 2009. The FDA approved the Duet TRS products via its 510(k) clearance process. A “fast track” process, 510(k) approvals do not require human testing if a device is shown to be “substantially equivalent” to a product on the market.
In January 2012, Covidien announced it was recalling Duet TRS single-use cartridges planned for use in thoracic surgery. The company warned that the recalled devices should no longer be used in thoracic surgery, and placed a hold on its Duet TRS inventory globally to allow for relabeling with new instructions for use. Additionally, it provided information to its customers on alternative tissue reinforcement products that may be used in conjunction with Covidien endoscopic staplers for thoracic surgery.
The thoracic, or chest, cavity is enclosed by the ribs, the vertebral column and the sternum. It contains the lungs and the heart. According to the Duet TRS recall notice, 3 people died and another 13 where injured when the Duet TRS cartridges were used in thoracic surgery. “The company has concluded that Duet TRS has the potential to injure adjacent anatomical structures within the thorax, which may result in life-threatening, post-operative complications,” Covidien’s recall notice said.
