Why these products were recalled

On June 15, 2017, STERIS identified that the purple ink located on the outside label of Vis-U-All Pouches may migrate following steam processing causing cosmetic defects on the exterior of the pouch and in some instances, transference of the ink onto the device(s) contained within the pouch.

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
