Superstat Modified Collagen Hemostatic Sponge Recalled for Sterility Audit Documentation Issues
Superstat Corp is recalling 26,422 units of Modified Collagen Hemostatic Sponge 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 explicitly states the issue is a lack of documentation to verify sterility audits, with no reported illnesses or injuries. This aligns with the rubric for moderate severity involving documentation issues or low-risk theoretical hazards.
