Carefusion recalls Genesis small sterilization containers due to inconsistent aerosol challenge testing results. Affected units may not meet safety standards for sterilization processes.
Genesis STERRAD Reusable Rigid Sterilization Containers have not consistently met the requirements for aerosol challenge testing.
Carefusion is recalling Genesis small sterilization containers because they failed aerosol challenge testing. This means the containers might not properly sterilize medical equipment, risking infections during use.
These containers may not consistently pass aerosol challenge testing, which checks if they can safely hold sterilized medical instruments. If the containers fail this test, they might not properly sterilize equipment, increasing infection risks.
Healthcare facilities using these containers for medical sterilization are affected. Staff handling the containers during sterilization processes are at risk of potential infection exposure.
Check for the model 'Genesis Small Container 21 X 7" (53.3 X 17.8CM) 5-1/2" (14CM) DEEP STERRAD COMPATIBLE, REF CD4-5ST'. All lots of this product are affected.
Verify the model number and lot information on the container to confirm if it's affected.
