Integra LifeSciences recalls cranial access kits for brain surgery due to packaging defect that may split without compromising sterility. Affected kits have specific catalog numbers and expiration dates.
Defect in the outer packaging of the Cranial Access Kits can cause the packaging to split without any additional forces outside compromising the sterility of the device
Integra LifeSciences is recalling cranial access kits used in brain surgery because the outer packaging can split without losing sterility. This defect could lead to contamination during procedures if the packaging fails.
The packaging defect can split without external forces affecting the sterility of the surgical kit. This means the kit might become contaminated during use if the packaging fails, though the defect doesn't cause immediate harm.
Surgical teams using Integra Cranial Access Kits for brain procedures are affected. The risk is low as the defect doesn't compromise sterility under normal use conditions.
Check for catalog numbers INS7270 (expiring 1-Aug-24) or INS7270 (expiring 1-Sep-24) on the packaging. The kits are sold for brain surgery access procedures.
Inspect the outer packaging for signs of splitting or damage.
