Products may encroach into the sterile pouch seal thereby increasing the risk of the seal being compromised.
Olsen Medical is recalling specific monopolar surgical cords that could allow the sterile pouch seal to be compromised, increasing contamination risk during procedures. This is a safety issue for medical professionals using these cords in operating rooms.
The cords may accidentally penetrate the sterile pouch seal during use, potentially compromising the seal and increasing the risk of contamination. This could lead to infections or other complications during surgical procedures.
Medical professionals using the recalled monopolar cords in operating rooms are most at risk. The recall affects specific model numbers sold in limited quantities.
Check for model numbers REF 92002 (50 units) or REF 40-2106/40-2110 (10 units each) on the cord packaging. These cords have a 1/8" diameter pin and TUR connector or Bovie to 90o Female Pin connector.
Identify the model number on the cord packaging to confirm if it's one of the recalled units (REF 92002, 40-2106, or 40-2110).
