Plain-English summary
Resource Optimization & Innovation LLC is recalling 18 kits of Regard sterile total hip procedure trays (Item Number: 880330004, OR0761D - Total Hip - OSU). The recall affects specific lots with expiration dates of March 30, 2018, and April 30, 2018. These products were distributed in the United States to locations in Louisiana and Texas.

Healthcare facilities that have received these specific trays should stop using them and contact the recalling firm for instructions on return or disposal. Patients who have already had surgery using these trays should contact their healthcare provider if they have concerns about the integrity of the sterile field during their procedure.
