Medline recalls sterile Magill forceps (MAGF9) due to weak seals that may cause undetectable sterility breaches, increasing infection risk. Affected units sold with specific lot numbers.
Weak seals may result in a breach of sterility, which may not be detectable to the user. This can lead to increased risk of contamination and infection.
Medline is recalling sterile Magill forceps (MAGF:9) because weak seals might cause sterility breaches that aren't easily noticed. This could lead to infections if used improperly.
