Cook recalls Torcon NB Advantage Catheters due to potential sterility compromise from undersealed packaging. Affected units may have contaminated products that could cause infection during medical procedures.
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 might not seal properly, risking contamination. This could lead to infections during medical procedures if the catheters are used without proper sterility.
The catheters' packaging may have an undersealed chevron, which could allow contaminants to enter the sterile product. This poses a risk of infection during medical procedures if the catheters are not properly sterilized.
Physicians and medical staff using these catheters for vascular procedures are most at risk. Patients receiving these catheters during procedures could be affected if the sterility is compromised.
