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.

Small loose metal flakes have been identified on the sponge forceps and towel clamps. These flakes could potentially detach during use.

If metal flakes enter a patient's surgical site undetected during a procedure, they may cause local tissue reactions or foreign body reactions. Any patient who underwent surgery using instruments from this lot could potentially be affected.

The FDA classified this as a Class II recall. Healthcare providers and facilities should contact AVID Medical regarding the affected product.
