Shippert Medical Technologies recalls Tissu-Trans FILTRON 500 sterile surgical pouches due to potential pouch cuts or holes that could compromise sterility during use.
The pouch integrity of the sterile product can't be assured without a visual examination due to possibly containing a cut or hole in the pouch.
Shippert Medical Technologies is recalling Tissu-Trans FILTRON 500 sterile surgical pouches because they might have cuts or holes in the pouch that could allow contamination. This is dangerous because the pouches are meant to be sterile for one patient use, and any breach could lead to infection.
The pouches may have invisible cuts or holes that could compromise sterility during surgery. If the pouch isn't properly checked for damage before use, it might not be sterile, increasing infection risk for the patient.
Medical professionals using the Tissu-Trans FILTRON 500 pouches for surgery or procedures are most at risk if they use a pouch with an undetected cut or hole.
Check the label for Shippert Medical Technologies and the catalog number 3-TT-FILTRON 500. The affected lot numbers include 61508, 61636, 61683, 61753, 61804, 61812, 61813, 61814, 61815, 61862, 61917, 61949, 61991, 62052, 62089, 62134, and 62156.
