TPS Micro Reciprocating Rasp Recalled Due to Compromised Sterile Seal
Surgical Instrument Service And Savings, Inc. is recalling four units of TPS Micro Reciprocating Small Tear Cross Cut Rasps because the sterile barrier seal may be compromised.
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, but the source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations. The hazard is a potential loss of sterility due to a packaging defect, which fits the criteria for a moderate severity recall involving low-risk contamination or precautionary measures without reported harm.
