What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a potential sterility breach in surgical kits, which is a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

DeRoyal Industries Inc is recalling 836 units of sterile custom surgical kits, including Emergency CABG Packs, Open Heart Packs, and Intl-Cardiac Surgery Packs. The recall involves specific DeRoyal and GEO-MED product references and lot numbers. These kits were distributed in Missouri, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Connecticut, and Kuwait.

The recall was initiated because the kits contain the component ECOLAB ORS Fluid Warming and Slush Drape, which was recalled due to the possibility that the sterile packaging may contain small channels in the seal of the pouch. This defect could potentially compromise the sterility of the surgical kits.

Healthcare facilities and consumers who have these specific products should stop using them and contact DeRoyal Industries Inc for further instructions. The agency has classified this as a Class II recall.
