Reason for recall
Due to a problem in the packaging sealing process at the supplier of the affected devices, it cannot be guaranteed that the sterilized medical devices in the scope of this recall remain sterile during their shelf-life.
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.
