Vygon IV Start Convenience Kits Recalled for Iodine Stability Issues
Vygon MFG, Inc. is recalling IV Start Convenience Kits because the iodine prep pads failed stability testing for their expiration date.
What this means for you
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 hospitalizations, injuries, or illnesses. The hazard is a stability/efficacy issue regarding the expiration date of the antiseptic pads, which fits the criteria for a moderate severity recall involving low-risk contamination or labeling/stability errors without reported harm.
