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 is classified as FDA Class II, and the hazard involves a risk of surgical site infection due to potential lack of sterility, which fits the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Cardinal Health 200, LLC is recalling Presource Procedure Packs that contain AAMI Level 3 surgical gowns. The recall involves multiple catalog numbers produced between September 1, 2018, and January 15, 2020, with additional kits produced through February 19, 2020. The total quantity affected is 2,161,526 units, plus 113,711 additional units as of February 25, 2020.
The gowns were manufactured at locations that did not maintain proper environmental conditions. As a result, there is no assurance that the surgical gowns are sterile. An inadequately sterilized surgical gown could compromise a sterile field and increase the risk of a surgical site infection.
The affected products were distributed nationwide in the United States. Healthcare facilities and consumers should check their inventory for the specific catalog numbers and lot codes listed in the official recall notice. If the products are found, they should be removed from use and returned to the supplier or Cardinal Health for credit or replacement.
