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 is classified as FDA Class II. The hazard involves a risk of harm (infection due to compromised sterility) in a medical device, but the source text does not report any specific illnesses or injuries, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Windstone Medical Packaging, Inc. is recalling 1,164 units of Plastic Kit, Kit number CMP1084(B). These are convenience custom kits used for general surgery in hospital operating rooms. The recall is due to a defect in the Medtronic COVER LIGHT HANDLE DISPOSABLE GLOVES (Part # 13140) included in the custom AMS kit.

The gloves may contain splits or holes, which could compromise the sterility of the kit. This defect poses a risk of infection to patients if the non-sterile gloves are used during surgery.

The affected kits were distributed nationwide to California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, New Jersey, Nevada, Texas, Virginia, and Wyoming. The recall covers specific lot numbers and expiration dates ranging from March 2014 to October 2016. Healthcare facilities should stop using these kits and contact the manufacturer for instructions on return or disposal.
