Avid Medical Recalls Custom Procedure Trays Due to Sterility Concerns

Avid Medical, Inc. is recalling 628 custom procedure trays because they contain surgical gowns that may not be sterile. This poses a risk of surgical site infection and cross-contamination.

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 surgical site infection and cross-contamination from potentially non-sterile medical devices. Per the rubric, this is classified as High (3) because it is a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Avid Medical, Inc. is recalling 628 custom procedure trays containing 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, increasing 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 product includes multiple item and lot numbers, with expiration dates ranging from 02/10/2020 to 11/18/2022. The products 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 and contact the manufacturer for instructions on return or disposal.
