Medical Surgery Kits Recalled for Sterilization Assurance Failure

American Contract Systems is recalling 1,094 laparoscopy and pelviscopy procedure kits distributed to Illinois and Louisiana because the company cannot confirm sterilization requirements were met for certain components.

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: This is an FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard—inability to confirm sterilization of surgical equipment—is theoretical and risk-of-harm in nature, meeting the criterion for Score 3 (High) under the rubric.

Plain-English summary

American Contract Systems Inc is recalling 1,094 medical procedure kits and trays used in laparoscopic and pelviscopic surgery. The recalled products include Laparoscopy Pack (Model EVLP61I) and Pelviscopy kits (Model EVPV29G), which are sterile surgical supplies used in minimally invasive surgical procedures.

During an internal investigation, American Contract Systems determined that the sterilization procedures for certain components in these kits could not be justified and therefore cannot meet the company's sterilization assurance requirements. As a result, the company is unable to confirm that product sterilization assurance requirements were met.

The recalled products were distributed to medical facilities in Illinois and Louisiana. Healthcare providers and facilities that received these products should contact American Contract Systems regarding the recall and follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper handling and disposition of affected kits.
