What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the hazard involves a potential loss of sterility without reported injuries or illnesses, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity precautionary recall.
Plain-English summary
Surgical Instrument Service And Savings, Inc. is recalling 15 units of manual surgical instruments, specifically suture hooks and suture lassos, manufactured by ConMed Linvatec and Arthrex. The affected products include specific lots of the Spectrum II Suture Hook Crescent and various models of the SutureLasso SD and SutureLasso instruments.
The recall was initiated because the seal that maintains a sterile barrier for these reprocessed medical devices became compromised. This defect may allow the product to fall out of the pouch, potentially compromising the sterility of the instruments. The products were distributed nationwide.
Consumers and healthcare facilities should stop using the affected suture instruments and contact Surgical Instrument Service And Savings, Inc. for further instructions or a replacement.
