Avid Medical recalls custom surgical procedure trays that may contain non-sterile surgical gowns, increasing infection risk during procedures. Affected items include specific model numbers and lot 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.
