American Contract Systems recalls specific upper extremity casts due to excessive ethylene oxide/ethylene chlorohydrin residues, which may pose health risks during long-term use.
Ethylene Oxide/Ethylene Chlorohydrin (EO/ECH) residuals for the cast padding component exceeded the residual limits for permanent exposure devices as indicated by ANSI/AAMI/ISO 10993-7/(R)2012.
American Contract Systems is recalling certain upper extremity casts because they contain unsafe levels of ethylene oxide and ethylene chlorohydrin residues. These residues could cause health issues if the casts are used for extended periods.
The cast padding contains ethylene oxide and ethylene chlorohydrin residues that exceed safe limits for long-term exposure. This can lead to health problems such as skin irritation or allergic reactions over time, especially with extended use.
People who own or use the recalled upper extremity casts, particularly those with injuries requiring long-term casting. Individuals with chronic conditions or prolonged use of the casts are at higher risk.
Check for the catalog number IHUE40AG on the cast packaging. The lot numbers 658231, 953241, and 899241 are also associated with this recall.
