Medtronic Disposable Gloves Recalled for Potential Sterility Compromise

Medtronic COVER LIGHT HANDLE DISPOSABLE GLOVES in Aligned Medical Solutions kits are recalled because splits or holes may compromise 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 medical device where sterility is compromised, posing a risk of infection (high-risk hazard), but the source text does not report any specific illnesses or injuries, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.
