Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Resource Optimization & Innovation LLC is recalling 28 units of Regard, Item Number 800301001, Sterile, CV0708A - OPEN HEART custom surgical kits for cardiovascular surgery. The recall was initiated because the kits contain a component, specifically ORS fluid warming and slush drapes, that was previously recalled due to compromised package integrity. This issue potentially affects the sterility assurance of the surgical kits.

The affected products were distributed in Texas and Louisiana. The recall is classified as Class II by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. No specific lot numbers or expiration dates are provided in the source text, but the code information is listed as 19345.

Healthcare facilities and consumers who have these specific surgical kits should stop using them immediately and contact the recalling firm for instructions on return or disposal.
