Reason for recall

Gravity sterilization parameters provided in the 12 Instrument Sterilization reprocessing guide did not fully consider all worst-case scenarios during validation testing.

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.
