Reason for recall
The Medtronic COVER LIGHT HANDLE DISPOSABLE GLOVES of the custom Aligned Medical Solutions (AMS) kits were recalled because gloves may contain splits or holes compromising sterility.
A sterility recall means a product that must be sterile, such as an injection or eye drop, may be contaminated. Using a non-sterile product can cause serious infection.
