Stryker recalls Hemopore 8cm nasal/sinus temporary wound dressings with catalog numbers 5400-020-208 and 5400-020-208ITL due to potential sterility seal breach indicating contamination.
There is a potential for blister seals on the product to present a bubble on the seal area of the packaging. This seal acts as a sterile barrier and, in this event, indicates that the sterility seal has been breached.
Stryker is recalling Hemopore 8cm nasal/sinus temporary wound dressings that may have a broken sterility seal, risking contamination. This could lead to infection if used without proper sterility.
The product's blister seal may show a bubble on the packaging, indicating the sterility barrier has been breached. This could mean the dressing is contaminated and not sterile, increasing infection risk if applied.
People who own or use the recalled Hemopore 8cm nasal/sinus temporary wound dressings with catalog numbers 5400-020-208 and 5400-020-208ITL are affected. Those using the product for medical purposes are most at risk.
Check for catalog numbers 5400-020-208 or 5400-020-208ITL on the packaging. The product was sold with specific lot numbers listed in the recall notice.
Look for a bubble on the blister seal area of the packaging to determine if sterility has been compromised.
The recall indicates a potential sterility seal breach, so it's not recommended to use the product if the seal shows a bubble. Always check the seal before use.
Check the product's catalog number and lot numbers listed in the recall. If the seal shows a bubble, do not use it and contact Stryker for guidance.
Verify your product's catalog number (5400-020-208 or 5400-020-208ITL) and lot number against the list provided in the recall notice.
