Steris Endo Cleaning Indicator Recalled Due to Temperature Excursion

Mckesson Medical-Surgical is recalling Steris Endo Cleaning Indicator VERIFY RESITEST devices due to temperature excursions that occurred on January 8, 2024. The temperature drop could cause the indicator to produce incorrect or delayed test results.

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: FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is theoretical—temperature excursions could increase the probability of incorrect or delayed test results, but this is a precautionary recall of already-affected units with no direct injury reports.

Plain-English summary

Mckesson Medical-Surgical Inc. is recalling the Steris Endo Cleaning Indicator VERIFY RESITEST device due to a temperature excursion that occurred on January 8, 2024. A mechanical failure in a walk-in refrigerator caused storage temperatures to fall below the validated range of 35.6-46.4°F (2-8°C) for up to 60 minutes. This temperature excursion could increase the probability that the indicator will produce an incorrect test result or delayed test result.

The recall affects 25 units that were distributed nationwide in Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Texas. Affected devices are identified by Catalogue Number LCC101 and UDI/DI 10724995220072.
