The NIO-A is intended for adults above 12 years old and the NIO-P is intended for pediatric patients 3 - 12 years of age.
| Date | Aug 18, 2016 |
| Status | Terminated |
| Reason | WaisMed received a report in which during the operation of the NIO-A, the needle was not released from the device as expected. The device was placed on the floor and after several minutes the needle was released spontaneously. NIO-A and the NIO-P models have the same activation mechanism. However, none of the affected lots of the NIO-A are distributed in the US, and thus the company is only recalling a single lot of NIO-P in the US. |
