Texas Medical Technology recalls disposable Level 3 surgical gowns (sizes L/XL/XXL) because fabric fails hydrostatic pressure test, risking blood/fluid penetration during surgery.
Surgical gowns recalled due to gown fabric failing to pass the hydrostatic pressure test so the fabric does not provide the protection needed in a level 3 surgical gown, i.e., blood and other fluid may penetrate the fabric.
Texas Medical Technology is recalling disposable Level 3 surgical gowns (sizes Large, XLarge, XXLarge) because the fabric doesn't meet safety standards for fluid resistance. This could allow blood or bodily fluids to penetrate the gown during surgery, increasing infection risk for patients and staff.
The gown fabric fails a hydrostatic pressure test, meaning it cannot resist blood or bodily fluids. This could lead to fluid penetration during surgery, potentially causing infections for both patients and medical staff.
Healthcare workers using these surgical gowns during procedures are most at risk. Patients undergoing surgery with these gowns could face higher infection risks.
Check for product codes: GWS-03-L-B, GWS-03-XL-B, or GWS-03-XXL-B. These gowns were sold with specific lot numbers and production dates as listed in the recall notice.
Look for product codes on the gown: GWS-03-L-B (Large), GWS-03-XL-B (XLarge), or GWS-03-XXL-B (XXLarge).
