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

Superstat Corp is recalling Modified Collagen Hemostatic Sponges because documentation to verify 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 due to missing documentation for sterility audits, which is a documentation issue rather than a confirmed contamination or injury event, fitting the Moderate severity criteria for low-risk or precautionary recalls.
