Why it’s dangerous

The recall is triggered by 3M Healthcare's prior recall of 3M Steri-Drape surgical drapes. However, the specific hazard mechanism is not clearly described in this record, so the risk level cannot be determined.

Who’s affected

Medical professionals and hospitals that use these surgical kits are likely affected. Patients undergoing surgery with these kits may be at risk if the drapes are not properly handled.

How to tell if you have this one

Check for kits with part numbers listed in the record, such as AMS10411A Nasal Endoscopy Pack or VPP1020A Custom Dental Pack. Look for lot numbers like 172743, 175939, or 178701 on the packaging.
