  • FGE4027 – Energy accessories TB-0520FCS Handpiece Front-actulated 5mm wide 20mm length.
• The supply issue is due to shipping delays.

Impact:          

• FGE4025 and FGE4026 are currently suspended and unavailable to order.
• FGE4027 is currently unavailable.
• Unfortunately, there are no alternatives available. Customers are advised to view the online catalogue for products they deem suitable.
• Unfortunately, due to the number of variables at play (different generator configurations, whether a customer has existing transducers, generator software variants, and clinical needs) it is very difficult to provide direct alternatives at a broad level. We want to support as many customers as we can and in the timeliest manner to avoid service disruption, so our advice would be for the customer to reach out to their local Territory Manager who will be able to discuss their needs and identify the most suitable product/s based upon the factors previously mentioned.
• See our Downloads ▼ section to access the product listing for further information on the affected product codes.
• We currently do not have an anticipated resolution date and will update this ICN by 19 January 2026.
