Cardinal Health Recalls Presource Kit Total Joint Pack Due to Sterility Concerns

Cardinal Health Inc. is recalling 182 Presource Kit Total Joint Packs distributed in Florida because the double-wrapped basin component is not supported by current sterility assurance validation.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Devices): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations. The hazard is a theoretical sterility assurance issue rather than a confirmed contamination or injury event, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score.
