Medtronic recalls pink RadiaLux Lighted Retractors with specific serial numbers due to potential contamination risk leading to post-operative infections. Affected units may need replacement.
Defect in sterile pouch seal, incomplete seal, of lighted Retractors, increases the risk of contamination, which can lead to post-operative infection.
Medtronic is recalling pink RadiaLux Lighted Retractors with certain serial numbers because a defect in the sterile pouch seal could cause contamination. This increases the risk of post-operative infections for patients who have or will have surgery using these retractors.
The sterile pouch seal on the retractors has a defect that can become incomplete. This allows contaminants to enter the pouch, potentially causing infections after surgery.
Patients undergoing surgery who use the recalled RadiaLux Lighted Retractors are at risk of infection. Healthcare providers using these retractors in surgical settings may also be affected.
Check for the pink color and the specific serial numbers: 00763000432805/ 705F, 706F, 707F, 708F, 709F. These units were sold with the reference number 50-101-1.
