Superstat Modified Collagen Hemostatic Sponge Recalled Due to Missing Sterility Audit Records

Superstat Corp is recalling Modified Collagen Hemostatic Sponges because documentation verifying quarterly dose sterility audits is unavailable.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text indicates the issue is a lack of documentation to verify sterility audits rather than a confirmed contamination or injury, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity precautionary recall.
