Cardiac catheterization packs recalled after being sterilized more than once
American Contract Systems is recalling cardiac catheterization and cath lab convenience packs that were re-gassed after a sterilization nonconformance.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: Scored 3 under the risk-of-harm criterion: quality and safety cannot be confirmed for kits used in invasive procedures, and no injuries are reported.
Plain-English summary
Medical convenience kits used in cardiac catheterization are being recalled. Affected item numbers include EVLH67F (Left Heart Cath Pack), FDCL22R (Cath Lab Angio), IHCC03X (Cath Cardiac Pack), TNCC02AD (Cardiac Cath Trinity), UICC27AG (Cardiac Cath Angio Pack) and UIRD89AH (Radial Pack).
The identified products were re-gassed, meaning sterilized more than once, after a nonconformance occurred during the initial ethylene oxide gas injection process. These products have not been validated for exposure to multiple sterilization cycles, so product quality, safety and effectiveness cannot be confirmed.
The action covers 32,433 units in total across the firm's affected kits, distributed in South Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota, Washington and Illinois. The FDA has classified the action as Class II.
Facilities should identify affected item, lot and bag serial numbers, quarantine them and follow the firm's instructions.
