The potential compromise of the sterility of products from an undersealed chevron in the packaging pouches of Torcon NB Advantage Catheters.
Cook is recalling Torcon NB Advantage Catheters because the packaging may not seal properly, risking contamination. This could lead to infections during medical procedures if the catheters are used without proper sterility.
The catheters' packaging pouches may have an undersealed chevron, which could allow contaminants to enter the sterile product. This risk exists if the packaging is not properly sealed during manufacturing or handling.
Physicians using these catheters for vascular procedures are most at risk. Patients undergoing procedures with these catheters could face infection if sterility is compromised.
