What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II. The hazard involves the loss of sterility in a medical device, which poses a risk of infection, but no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.
Plain-English summary
Breg Inc is recalling sterile dressings (P/N 02328) used as an insulation barrier between the Polar Care cold therapy pad and the skin. These products are typically applied in a non-sterile environment after post-op procedures, but on occasion may be applied in a sterile environment.
Breg has determined that a small percentage (approximately 0.22%) of these products may have been sent with unsealed pouches by the contract manufacturer. Products with unsealed pouches may not have been sealed prior to sterilization and will be non-sterile.
Customers will be contacted and instructed to inspect their inventory for any product with unsealed pouches and discard them.
