Incomplete seals on the sterile package may compromise the sterility
Centurion is recalling chest tube trays and insertion trays that may have incomplete sterile seals. This could compromise sterility during medical procedures, potentially leading to infections if used improperly.
Incomplete seals on the sterile packaging could allow contamination. If the trays are used without proper sterility, this might lead to infections during medical procedures.
Healthcare professionals using these medical devices are most at risk. Patients receiving chest tube procedures may be affected if the trays are used without proper sterility.
Check for the kit codes: CHT1170, CHT1700, CHT1760, CHT275, CHT440, CHT701, or CHT760. These trays were sold with specific lot numbers from January 2018 to March 2019.
Look for the kit code on the product label to confirm if it's affected.
The recall states that incomplete seals may compromise sterility, so they should not be used until the remedy is applied.
The recall record does not specify a remedy, so contact Centurion Medical Products Corporation for instructions.
Affected models include CHT1170, CHT1700, CHT1760, CHT275, CHT440, CHT701, and CHT760.
