Integra York PA, Inc. is recalling 150 units of sterile Rochester-Pean Hemostatic Forceps because packaging seals may separate, compromising sterility.

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: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (sterile surgical instruments) where a defect compromises sterility, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or illnesses.

Plain-English summary

Integra York PA, Inc. is recalling 150 units of Rochester-Pean Hemostatic Forceps 61/4, Curved, Sterile. These single-use sterile surgical instruments are intended for cutting and grasping tissue in general surgical procedures. The affected units are identified by Catalog # ST7-138 and lot # 352.

The recall was initiated because the Chevron seals of the 6x10 Tyvek peel pouches used to package the instruments may separate. This defect can cause the packages to open, which compromises the sterility of the instruments. The products were distributed in North Carolina and Texas.

Healthcare facilities and consumers should stop using these specific instruments and contact the recalling firm for further instructions or replacement.
