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.

Plain-English summary
Avid Medical, Inc. is recalling 230 custom procedure trays containing medical components used for minor and major patient surgeries. The recall is due to the presence of one or more recalled surgical gowns within the trays. These gowns were manufactured at locations that did not maintain proper environmental conditions, meaning there is no assurance that they are sterile.
An inadequately sterilized surgical gown could compromise a sterile field and increase the risk of a surgical site infection. Additionally, due to the configuration of the trays, the recalled gowns may come into contact with other components, posing a risk of cross-contamination.
The affected trays are distributed in Arizona, California, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Tennessee, Texas, Wisconsin, and Virginia. Item codes are SHER010-12, and lot numbers include 1339900, 1352089, 1361835, 1370391, and 1372029. Expiration dates range from 12/15/2020 to 09/05/2021. Healthcare facilities should stop using these trays and contact Avid Medical for instructions on return or disposal.
