AMD Medicom recalls Ritmed Neurological Sponges (0.75x0.75in) due to potential endotoxin levels that could cause neurovascular issues during surgery. Affected units have specific serial numbers and lot codes.
Neurological sponges used to moisten or absorb biological fluid during neurological surgery and may also be used to protect the brain during incision, may not consistently meet endotoxin specification for devices that contact the cerebrospinal fluid. Elevated endotoxin levels may lead to neurovascular adverse events, febrile response, and/or local transient inflammation, hypotension, or nausea.
AMD Medicom recalls Ritmed Neurological Sponges used in surgery because they may not meet endotoxin safety standards. This could lead to complications like fever, low blood pressure, or inflammation if used in procedures involving cerebrospinal fluid.
