Labor and Delivery Pack Recalled Over Unconfirmed Sterilization
American Contract Systems is recalling 725 Labor & Delivery Packs because the manufacturer cannot confirm sterilization requirements were met. Devices may lack functionality and could delay or prolong patient treatment.
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: This is an FDA Class II recall for a medical device used in critical obstetric care. While no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the potential for sterilization failure and resulting loss of device functionality qualifies as a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported, placing it at Score 3.
Plain-English summary
American Contract Systems Inc. is recalling 725 LABOR & DELIVERY PACK units (Model LLLD19H) due to unconfirmed sterilization assurance. The manufacturer is unable to confirm that sterilization requirements were met during manufacturing.
