Cardinal Health recalls X-large, X-long SmartSleeve surgical gowns with specific lot numbers due to potential open packaging seals that could compromise sterility during surgery.
Potential for open packaging seals compromising the sterility of the surgical gowns
Cardinal Health is recalling certain SmartSleeve surgical gowns because their packaging seals might not stay closed properly, risking contamination during surgery. This is serious for surgical teams using these gowns.
The packaging seals on these gowns may open during handling or storage, allowing unsterile materials to contact the gown. This could lead to infections or contamination during surgery if the gown is used without proper sterility.
Surgical staff and hospitals that purchased the recalled SmartSleeve gowns with specific lot numbers. Those using the gowns for procedures are most at risk.
Check for lot numbers: 20MBQ001 through 21JBQ002. The gowns have SKU 9041EL and UDI codes 50192253018996 or 10192253018998. They are X-large, X-long surgical gowns.
Immediately stop using the recalled SmartSleeve gowns with the listed lot numbers and UDI codes as they may not maintain sterility.
