Lack of assurance of sterility: Unsterilized ChloraPrep & PurPrep Applicators, intended for further processing and sterilization were instead distributed to customers outside of the intended distribution channel
CareFusion is recalling ChloraPrep Scrub Teal applicators because they were distributed without proper sterilization. Using these unsterilized items could lead to infections if not handled correctly.
The applicators were distributed outside their intended sterilization channel, meaning they lack proper sterility. This increases infection risk during medical procedures if not sterilized correctly.
Healthcare professionals and surgical staff who use these applicators for sterilization processes are most at risk. Patients receiving procedures using unsterilized items could face infections.
