Surgical procedure kits recalled due to loose metal flakes in instruments
AVID Medical is recalling Halyard BASIC PROCEDURE PACK surgical instrument kits because sponge forceps and towel clamps may contain loose metal flakes that could enter a patient's surgical site and cause local or foreign body reactions.
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: No reported illnesses or injuries, and the hazard is theoretical (metal flakes 'could detach' and 'may enter'). The recall involves potential contamination in a surgical setting, meeting the rubric criterion for 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.'
Plain-English summary
AVID Medical, Inc. is recalling the Halyard BASIC PROCEDURE PACK (Model GRAN019-06, Lot 1587717), surgical instrument kits distributed nationwide. The packs contain sponge forceps and towel clamps.
