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 if the catheters are used without proper sterility.
The catheters' packaging pouches may have an undersealed chevron, which could compromise sterility during use. This risk is specific to the packaging design and not the catheter itself.
Physicians using these catheters in vascular procedures are most at risk. The recall affects specific lot numbers produced in 2009.
Check for lot numbers 9700036 or 9707670 on the packaging. These catheters were sold in 2009 for vascular procedures by trained physicians.
