Andover Healthcare recalls Sterile Co-Flex NL 3" single-use wound dressings due to incomplete packaging seals that could compromise sterility.
Incomplete packaging seal of sterile product
Andover Healthcare is recalling Sterile Co-Flex NL 3" single-use wound dressings because their packaging seals may be incomplete. This could allow contamination and infection if the dressing is used without proper sterility.
Incomplete packaging seals could allow contaminants to enter the sterile dressing. This might lead to infection if the dressing is used without proper sterility. The risk is low because the product is single-use and the issue is with packaging, not the dressing itself.
Patients using this specific sterile wound dressing for secondary wounds or compression wraps. Those who have the product with lot numbers CI0ST7, CI0ZJT, CI17BA, CI18Y6, or CI1HM0 are most at risk.
