ConvaTec recalls a specific ostomy kit due to a mismatched coupling ring size (45mm vs 57mm) that could cause improper fitting.
The kit contains a flange that has a 45mm coupling ring, however, the pouch within the kit is for a 57mm coupling ring.
ConvaTec is recalling a specific surgical ostomy kit because the pouch is designed for a 57mm coupling ring, but the kit includes a 45mm ring. This mismatch could lead to improper use and potential complications.
