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.
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 2/5 (Moderate).
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.
