What this means for you

Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states that the compromised sterility 'may result in patient infection,' which constitutes a significant injury risk under the rubric for Severe recalls.

Plain-English summary

This medical device is used by medical staff to perform patient care procedures such as wound healing, suture removals, and wound irrigation.

These conditions may result in patient infection.

The products were distributed in the United States to Florida, New York, and Puerto Rico. Healthcare facilities and consumers who have these specific lot numbers should stop using the products and contact the recalling firm for instructions on return or disposal.
