Stryker recalls Nasopore Ex Firm and Forte nasal dressings with potential sterility seal breaches. Affected items have blister seals that may show bubbles 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 two nasal dressing products due to a risk that the sterile packaging seal might be breached, showing a bubble. This could mean the dressing is no longer sterile and might cause infection if used.
The blister seal on the packaging is designed to keep the dressing sterile. If the seal shows a bubble, it means the sterility barrier has been broken, potentially allowing contamination.
People who use nasal dressings for medical purposes, especially those with wounds or infections, are most at risk if the dressing becomes contaminated.
Check for the product names 'Nasopore Ex Firm 4cm' or 'Nasopore Forte plus 4cm' with catalog numbers 5400-030-004 or 5400-030-004ITL. Look for specific lot numbers listed in the recall notice.
Look for bubbles on the blister seal area of the packaging to determine if sterility has been compromised.
The recall states that a bubble on the seal indicates the sterility barrier has been breached, which could lead to contamination and infection if used.
Check for the product names and catalog numbers listed in the recall notice, including specific lot numbers provided.
Discard the dressing immediately as it is no longer sterile.
