Mucus Specimen Trap 40 cc, Specimen Trap 40 cc recalled

Timeline

Companies usually start a recall weeks before the FDA classifies and publishes it; the gap above is that lag.

Reason for recall

There is a potential that the specified mucus specimen traps are not sterile. Use of the affected products may result in the contamination of patient specimens.

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.
