American Contract Systems recalls CVS PCSU SJH models with specific lot numbers due to potential component failure from improper sterilization. Affected units may have reduced functionality or drug efficacy.
During an internal investigation, ACS identified that the components, I.V. Cath (part number 4252535-02) and Adhesive Dermabond (part number DHVM12) were inadvertently subjected to the ACS sterilization process and exposed to EO and higher temperatures than approved by the component manufacturer. As a result, the components may (1) have a loss/lack of functionality, (2) loss of drug efficacy, if applicable, and (3) have higher than specified EO residuals.
