AVID Medical recalls Halyard CHRIST Suture Kit (Model ADVC800-03) due to potential silicone coating removal during use. Affected units may have diminished performance.
An issue with a raw material used to coat some surgical needles that may result in diminished performance and/or removal of some silicone needle coating during use.
AVID Medical is recalling their Halyard CHRIST Suture Kit (Model ADVC800-03) because the silicone coating on some surgical needles might wear off during use, potentially causing the kit to perform less effectively. This could affect surgical procedures where precise needle handling is critical.
The surgical needles in this kit use a raw material that may lose its silicone coating during use. This could lead to diminished performance, such as reduced precision or reliability in needle handling during procedures. However, the risk is not severe enough to cause injury or serious harm.
Surgical professionals and hospitals using the Halyard CHRIST Suture Kit (Model ADVC800-03) with Lot Code 1640852 or expiration date 02/2028 are most at risk. The risk is low as the issue involves coating wear rather than immediate safety hazards.
Check for the model number ADVC800-03 on the kit. The lot code 1640852 and expiration date 02/2028 are also associated with this recall.
Review the model number, lot code, and expiration date on the kit to confirm if it matches the recalled items.
