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 potential compromise of the sterile barrier for a medical device used in wound drainage, which poses a risk of infection (harm) but the source text does not report any specific injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Aspen Surgical Products, Inc. is recalling the 10mm Drain Kit, Flat Full Perforated, Saber 100ml Bulb and 3C System Sterile (10/case). These medical devices are intended for closed wound suction drainage. The recall was initiated because of a potential compromise of the sterile barrier for the Surgidyne Wound Drainage and Surgidyne Bulb Evacuator & Collection System medical devices.

The affected products are identified by Product Number 310007. The distribution pattern includes worldwide distribution to the USA (including specific states such as LA, MA, NH, TX, FL, OH, NC, PA, CA, UT, TN, MI, CO, WY, OK, WA, MN, IN, VA, IA, IL, MD, CT, DE, SC, NY, AR, AZ, NJ, MO, GA, KS, WV, NE, and Puerto Rico) and internationally to Canada, UAE, England, Italy, Belgium, Costa Rica, and Ecuador.
