Atrium Medical Recalls Advanta SST Grafts Due to Label Adhesion Issue

Atrium Medical Corporation is recalling Advanta SST Grafts because the inner tray label may adhere to the outer tray, making it difficult to remove the tray onto the sterile field.

What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the specific defect is a packaging-only problem (label adhesion) that does not directly cause adverse health consequences or injury, fitting the criteria for a Low severity score.
