Windstone Medical Packaging Recalls Eye Tray Kits Due to Sterility Concerns

Windstone Medical Packaging is recalling Eye Tray kits (PSS1834 and PSS1939) because Medtronic gloves within the kits may contain splits or holes that compromise sterility.

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: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (sterile surgical gloves) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the criteria for a High severity score.

Plain-English summary

The recall involves 802 kits distributed nationwide to California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, New Jersey, Nevada, Texas, Virginia, and Wyoming.
