Reason for recall
Ten complaints have been received identifying issues at the time of use related to the package seal, including incomplete seals, wrinkles in the seals or peeling seals. Compromised sterile barrier may lead to clinically insignificant extension of surgery or infection leading to surgical intervention.
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.
