Vortex Surgical recalls 25GA Subretinal Injection Cannula VS0220.25 with potential infection risk due to compromised sterile packaging. Affected units include specific catalog numbers and lots.
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.
