Hydrogel peeling from the pads.
C.R. Bard is recalling its ArcticGel Small Pad Kit because hydrogel can peel from the pads. This peeling may cause skin irritation or discomfort for users. The recall affects specific product codes and lots sold to medical facilities.
Hydrogel peeling from the pads can cause skin irritation or discomfort. This occurs because the hydrogel material may separate from the pad surface over time, especially with repeated use or exposure to moisture.
Medical facilities using the ArcticGel Small Pad Kit are most likely affected. Patients using the kit for temperature monitoring may experience skin irritation if hydrogel peels.
Check for product code 31705 and lot number NGBS1063 on the box. The kit includes a single foil pouch with four pads (two torso and two thigh pads).
