Halyard CHRIST SUTURE KIT surgical needles coating defect recall
AVID Medical is recalling Halyard CHRIST SUTURE KIT units due to a raw material issue in the needle coating that may cause silicone to be removed during use, potentially affecting surgical performance.
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: This is an FDA Class II medical device recall. The source text describes a potential performance degradation (diminished performance and/or coating removal) but does not report any actual injuries, illnesses, or hospitalizations. The hazard is performance-related rather than a known safety threat, making it a moderate-severity precautionary recall.
