Cataract Surgery Kits Recalled for Compromised Sterile Packaging
Beaver Visitec is recalling Malosa Core Phaco Pack 1 cataract surgery kits (Part Number: MMK833/2) because packaging may have small holes that compromise product sterility. The recall affects 120 units distributed across nine states.
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: This FDA Class II medical device recall involves surgical instruments with packaging that may compromise sterility. While no illnesses or injuries have been reported, there is an inherent risk of harm if contaminated instruments are used in eye surgery, fitting the rubric criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Beaver Visitec International, Inc. is recalling the Malosa Core Phaco Pack 1-Medical Cataract Kit (Part Number: MMK833/2), a surgical instrument kit intended to aid in cataract, corneal, or refractive surgery.
