Plain-English summary
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is recalling 222 units of the Covidien Tri-Staple 2.0 Reinforced Intelligent Reload 60 mm Medium/Thick. These medical devices are used with the Signia stapling system for various surgical procedures, including abdominal, gynecologic, pediatric, and thoracic surgeries. The specific product number is SIGTRSB60AMT.
The recall is issued because the packaging pouch may contain an extra laminate layer. This defect could compromise the sterility of the device. Additionally, the extra layer may prevent the complete removal of Ethylene Oxide sterilization gas, potentially increasing the risk of patient infection or exposure to retained Ethylene Oxide.
The affected units are distributed in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Texas. The lot number is N0M0801RY, and the expiration date is 11/30/2023. Healthcare facilities and consumers should stop using these devices and contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
