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 of cardiac procedure kits where components were not properly assessed for sterilization suitability. Although no illnesses or injuries are reported, the potential for loss of functionality or drug efficacy in critical cardiac procedures represents a high risk of harm.
Plain-English summary
American Contract Systems, Inc. is recalling 4394 custom cardiac procedural kits and trays distributed nationwide, including Heart Catheterization Trays (kit number JRHC45G) and TAVR Packs (kit number LLTV10), among others.

As a result, the affected components may have loss or lack of functionality, loss of drug efficacy if applicable, and higher than specified ethylene oxide (EO) residuals.
The specific affected lot numbers and expiration dates for each kit type are provided in FDA recall notice Z-0817-2024. Healthcare providers and patients who have used or received these kits should consult the complete recall details for identification and appropriate handling.
