Cardiovascular procedure packs recalled after being sterilized more than once
American Contract Systems is recalling cardiovascular convenience kits that were re-gassed after a sterilization nonconformance, without validation for multiple cycles.
The agency’s classification
FDA (Devices): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
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 cardiovascular procedures are being recalled. Affected item numbers include ANCV78BC (Heart Pack), HGCV05K (CV Set Up Pack), MHPP97AR (Pacemaker Pack), UDBH37AW (Basic Heart Pack), UHPP82AH (Peripheral Pack) and UICD62AN (Cardiovascular Supply).
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.
