Oertli 23G Laser Probes with specific model numbers and lots may have seal voids causing infection risk. Affected units include OS4 Flex-Tip and Illuminated Flex-Tip probes with catalog numbers VK401113, VK401213, etc. Contact for replacement or return.
There may be voids located in the seal of Tyvek pouches associated with identified catalog numbers and lots. A compromised sterile barrier has potential of bioburden contamination which could lead to infection.
Oertli is recalling specific 23G and 25G laser probes that may have seal voids in their Tyvek pouches. This could lead to infection if the sterile barrier is compromised during medical procedures.
The Tyvek pouches used to maintain sterility may have small holes or gaps. If these voids allow bacteria to enter, the sterile field could be contaminated during surgery, increasing infection risk.
Medical professionals using the recalled laser probes for surgery are most at risk. Patients undergoing procedures with these probes could face infection if the seal is compromised.
Check for model numbers VK401113, VK401213, VK401323, VK401115, VK401215, VK401325, or VK401327 on the probe. Also look for specific lot numbers like 2410031, 2410034, 2410033, etc. on the pouch packaging.
Review the model number and lot number on the probe pouch to confirm if it's affected.
The recall is due to potential voids in the Tyvek pouch seals that could compromise sterility and lead to infection during medical procedures.
Check the model number on the probe (e.g., VK401113) and the lot number on the pouch packaging (e.g., 2410031). Affected units are listed in the recall notice.
