Timeline

11 Jan 2016	Recall initiated by company
12 Mar 2016	Classified by FDA	+61 days
23 Mar 2016	Published in enforcement report	+11 days

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

Reason for recall

As a result of the insufficient sealer calibration data for product packaged in firm's Building II between August 2010 and April 2013. The affected products are sterile.

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.
