Knee Procedure Tray Recalled for Excess Sterilization Gas Residue

American Contract Systems is recalling TOTAL KNEE procedure trays because sterilization gas residuals on the cast padding component exceed regulatory safety limits. No injuries have been reported.

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 recall involving chemical residue exceeding regulatory limits with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is preventive in nature rather than based on adverse event reports.

Plain-English summary

American Contract Systems Inc is recalling 66 units of the TOTAL KNEE-302497 procedure tray (Catalog Number ANTK12AF) from nationwide US distribution.
