Stryker recalls two nasal dressing products due to potential sterility seal breaches. Affected items have specific catalog numbers and lot dates. Consumers should check packaging for blister seal bubbles.
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 types of nasal dressings because the packaging's sterility seal might be broken, indicating contamination. This could lead to infection if the dressing is used after the seal is compromised.
The blister seal on the packaging is designed to keep the dressing sterile. If the seal appears bubbled, it means the sterility barrier has been broken, potentially allowing bacteria to enter the dressing. This could cause infection if the dressing is used after the seal is compromised.
People who own or use the recalled Nasopore nasal dressings with catalog numbers 5400-212-004S or 5400-222-004S, and those who purchased them between January 2024 and May 2024. Individuals with nasal wounds or ongoing medical treatments are at higher risk.
Check the packaging for a blister seal that shows a bubble. The affected products have catalog numbers 5400-212-004S (Lot 2024011914) or 5400-222-004S (Lots 2024021212 and 2024052813).
Look for a bubbled blister seal on the packaging, which indicates a potential sterility breach.
If the blister seal is bubbled, the sterility barrier may be broken, increasing infection risk. However, the hazard is low risk as the seal breach is not guaranteed to cause harm.
Check for catalog numbers 5400-212-004S (Lot 2024011914) or 5400-222-004S (Lots 2024021212 and 2024052813).
No action is needed if the seal is intact. Only check for a bubbled seal; if present, discard the product to avoid infection risk.
