Potential for sterile packaging to be compromised
Centurion Medical is recalling LVAD dressing kits that could have compromised sterile packaging, increasing infection risk. Patients using these kits should stop using them immediately to prevent potential infections.
The sterile packaging could be compromised, meaning the dressing materials might not be clean or sterile when used. This could lead to infections in patients with LVADs, which are delicate medical devices.
Patients using left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) with the Centurion LVAD dressing kit (Code DM700) are affected. Those with LVADs who have recently had dressing procedures are most at risk.
Check for the kit code DM700 on the packaging. The product is used for left ventricular assist device dressings and was sold with lot number 2019031190, expiring June 30, 2020.
