Windstone Medical Packaging is recalling 430 Peri GYN surgical kits because the included Medtronic gloves 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 is classified as FDA Class II, and the hazard involves compromised sterility in surgical kits, which poses a risk of harm (infection) even though specific injuries are not reported in the source text.
