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: The recall involves a potential breach in the sterility of a medical device, which poses a risk of harm (infection) even though no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.
Plain-English summary
Ecolab Inc is recalling 88 cases (1,760 individual units) of Camera Arm Drape (Box of 20) products. The affected items are individually sealed in poly-Tyvek pouches and are intended for use exclusively on the Intuitive Surgical Da Vinci Si Robotic system. The specific lots involved are # D180437A and D180567, under item number 420279-03.
The recall was initiated because the pouches of certain lots may have wrinkles along the seal. These wrinkles could create a channel within the seal, which may result in a breach in the sterility of the product. The drapes are designed to function as a physical barrier to prevent cross-contamination in clinical settings.
The affected products were distributed worldwide, including nationwide distribution in the United States and in numerous international countries. Consumers and healthcare facilities should check their inventory for the specific lot numbers listed above and stop using the product if it matches the recalled description.
