Windstone Medical Recalls Ortho Pack Kits Due to Sterility Concerns

Windstone Medical Packaging is recalling 92 Ortho Pack kits because they may contain defective gloves with splits or holes that compromise sterility.

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 risk-of-harm product (sterile surgical gloves) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the High severity criteria for potential sterility compromise without confirmed illness.

Plain-English summary

Windstone Medical Packaging, Inc. is recalling 92 Ortho Pack kits, specifically kit numbers PSS3466 and PSS3466(A). These are convenience custom kits used for general surgery in hospital operating rooms. The recall is limited to specific lot numbers and expiration dates: 74829 (5/25/2017), 78510 (8/8/2017), 79116 (11/5/2017), and 79279 (1/18/2018).

The recall was initiated because the Medtronic COVER LIGHT HANDLE DISPOSABLE GLOVES, Part # 13140, included in the custom AMS kit, may contain splits or holes. These defects compromise the sterility of the gloves, which is a critical safety requirement for surgical instruments and supplies.

The affected kits were distributed nationwide to facilities in California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, New Jersey, Nevada, Texas, Virginia, and Wyoming. Healthcare facilities should check their inventory for these specific lot numbers and expiration dates and stop using the affected kits immediately.
