  • Notes / Alertes
    Brazilian data is current through June 2018. All of the data comes from Anvisa, except for the categories Manufacturer Parent Company and Product Classification.
    The Parent Company and the Product Classification were added by ICIJ.
    The parent company information is based on 2017 public records. The device classification information comes from FDA’s Product Classification by Review Panel, based on matches of data from the U.S. and Brazil.
  • Notes supplémentaires dans les données
    The company reports in the general population, the use of tissue morbidity has been associated with collateral injuries such as small, broad vascular structures of the bladder, ureter, kidney and diaphragm. These complications only occur under special circumstances, since, according to the surgeon's instructions, the tissue must be completely exposed before application of the device, according to instructions for use. The reevaluation of epidemiological data leads us to conclude that the rate of probability of sarcoma in a population submitted to hysterectomy for a benign indication can be as high as 0.2%. Therefore, the probability of death, permanent disability and / or need for surgical intervention is higher, that is, it is an event for which the result of injury is expected, but only occasionally. According to the FDA, electrical morbidity may still be the best therapeutic option for some patients after a cautious evaluation of benefit-risk and signing of the informed consent term.
  • Cause
    Johnson & johnson do brasil ind. and com. de prod. for health ltda has issued a safety alert on gynecare morcellex tissue morcorator products and gynecare x-tract laparoscopy fragmenter, stating that until recently, women were commonly advised of the risk of malignancy in a myoma that is 1 in 10,000. [hampton t. 2014]. this rate is currently under debate. in order to align with the fda's recent safety communication we have decided to suspend the marketing of our morcellating products while the role of morcelation for patients with symptomatic fibrotic diseases is redefined by the fda and the medical community. in light of the fda's april 17 public communication discouraging the use of morcelation during hysterectomies or laparoscopic myomectomies, we believe that suspending the marketing of these products until their role is better understood and redefined by the medical community is the appropriate course of action in this time. it is important to note that ethicon morcelling devices have always included care in their instructions for use (ifu) on the possible spread of malignant (or suspected malignant) tissue. also, please note that we are not removing the product on the market at this time.
