ECONO STERILE Medical Procedure Kits Recalled for Packaging Defects
Sklar Instruments is recalling ECONO STERILE medical procedure kits due to packaging issues that may compromise the sterile barrier and allow contamination.
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: FDA Class II recall involving medical devices with potential for sterile barrier compromise. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, and the hazard is theoretical (packaging "may result" in breach), so the severity is limited to High per the rubric criterion for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.
