DeRoyal Recalls Surgical Kits Due to Missing Protective Tape

DeRoyal Industries is recalling 303 custom surgical kits and trays because clear protective tape was not applied during manufacturing.

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, and the hazard involves a manufacturing defect (missing tape) that could lead to exposure to patient fluids, but no specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

DeRoyal Industries Inc is recalling 303 units of custom surgical kits and trays, specifically the GEO-MED TOTAL KNEE PACK (REF 89-6664.04) and GEO-MED TOTAL HIP PACK (REF 89-6664.03). These products contain Stryker Hytrel Togas, which were recalled because the clear tape intended to prevent patient fluids from contacting the surgeon or surgical staff through the sleeve seam was not applied during the manufacturing process.

The affected products were distributed nationwide, including in South Dakota and Nebraska. The recall is classified as Class II by the FDA, indicating a situation where use of the product could, in most cases, cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences.

Healthcare facilities and consumers should stop using these specific surgical kits and trays and contact DeRoyal Industries Inc for further instructions on return or replacement.
