FDA (Devices) recall action 87720
The FDA (Devices) publishes a recall like this one as 4 separate product records. They share a firm, a date and a cause; this page is all of them in one place, so the scale of the action is visible rather than spread across 4 pages.
Medical convenience kits are being recalled due to a potential breach in the package integrity of a component, the BD ChloraPrep 3mL applicator. Under certain circumstances the applicator may grow Aspergillus penicillioides, which may result in a breach of the package integrity. A breach of package integrity may contaminate other components in AVID Medical kits.
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.
