Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall involving a sterility compromise on an invasive medical device. No illnesses or injuries have been reported.

Plain-English summary
Cook Incorporated is recalling specific lots of Double Flexible Tipped Wire Guide Guidewire devices used in surgical and interventional procedures to guide catheters and other instruments inside the body.
The company identified that the packaging on affected device lots has a complete breach of the chevron seal that maintains sterility. This breach may compromise the sterility of the devices, creating a risk of infection if the non-sterile devices are used in patient procedures.

Healthcare providers should check whether they have inventory matching the recalled lot numbers and expiration dates, and follow Cook Incorporated's and the FDA's guidance on handling and patient notification.
