Avid Medical Recalls Custom Procedure Trays Due to Sterility Concerns

Avid Medical, Inc. is recalling 1,001 custom procedure trays because they contain surgical gowns that may not be sterile, posing a risk of surgical site infection.

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 risk-of-harm product (potential surgical site infection) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the criteria for a High severity score.

Plain-English summary

Avid Medical, Inc. is recalling 1,001 custom procedure trays that contain medical components used for minor and major patient surgeries. The recall is necessary because these trays contain one or more surgical gowns that were manufactured at locations that did not maintain proper environmental conditions. Consequently, there is no assurance that the surgical gowns 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 within the tray, posing a risk of cross-contamination.

The affected trays were distributed in Arizona, California, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Mississippi, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Tennessee, Texas, Wisconsin, and Virginia. Consumers and healthcare facilities should stop using these trays immediately and contact Avid Medical, Inc. for instructions on how to return the product.
