Avid Medical recalls custom procedure trays that may contain non-sterile surgical gowns, increasing infection risk during surgery. 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 may contain surgical gowns not properly sterilized. These gowns could lead to infections during surgery if used without proper sterility.
The surgical gowns in the trays were not sterilized properly due to inadequate environmental controls. This could lead to contamination of the surgical site and increase infection risks during procedures.
Healthcare professionals using the recalled trays for surgeries are most at risk. Patients undergoing procedures with these trays could face infection risks.
