Reason for recall
The seal which maintains a sterile barrier for reprocessed medical devices became compromised to the point where product may fall out of the pouch.
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.
