Surgical Procedure Trays Recalled Over Incomplete Outer Bag Seals

Stradis Medical is recalling surgical procedure trays due to manufacturing defects that may leave outer bags incompletely sealed, potentially breaching kit sterility. No illnesses have been reported.

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 is an FDA Class II recall involving surgical procedure kits with a potential sterility breach hazard. The rubric classification of 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported' applies: sterile surgical instruments are critical to prevent infection, but no illnesses or injuries have been reported and the hazard is theoretical rather than confirmed.
