Avid Medical recalls custom procedure trays with non-sterile surgical gowns that could cause surgical site infections. Affected items include specific lot numbers and expiration dates.
The medical procedure trays contain one or more recalled surgical gowns. The gowns were manufactured at locations that did not maintain proper environmental conditions. There is no assurance that the surgical gowns are sterile. An inadequately sterilized surgical gown could compromise a sterile field and increase the risk of a surgical site infection. Due to the configuration of the trays, the recalled gowns may come into contact with other components within the tray posing a risk of cross contamination.
Avid Medical is recalling custom procedure trays that contain surgical gowns which may not be sterile. This could lead to surgical site infections if used during procedures. The recall affects specific lot numbers and expiration dates.
The surgical gowns in the trays were manufactured without proper environmental controls, so they may not be sterile. If used during surgery, these gowns could contaminate the surgical site and increase infection risk. The trays' design also means gowns might touch other components, risking cross-contamination.
Healthcare providers using the recalled trays for patient surgeries are most at risk. Patients undergoing procedures with these trays could face infection risks.
