Why these products were recalled

Some lots of Capio SLIM do not consistently catch the suture after activation possibly resulting in a prolonged procedure or additional medical intervention.

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.
