Plain-English summary

Resource Optimization & Innovation LLC is recalling 92 custom procedure trays, identified by Item Number 800599001 and described as 'Sterile, GS0694A - Robotic Lap - Christus Highland'. The recall affects specific lots with expiration dates ranging from October 30, 2017, to April 26, 2018. These trays were distributed in the United States to locations in Louisiana and Texas.

The recall was initiated because the trays contain a component, a light glove, that has been recalled by the manufacturer. This component can split during application to a light handle, which breaks the sterile field. Breaking the sterile field during a procedure poses a risk of contamination.

Healthcare facilities that received these trays should stop using them and contact the recalling firm for instructions on return or disposal. The source text does not report any illnesses or injuries associated with this defect.
