Plain-English summary
Microtek Medical Inc. is recalling C-Flow Bag Decanter, REF 2000S (10,366 cases; 518,300 units) due to defects in sterile barrier packaging.

The packaging defects could compromise the sterile barrier integrity, potentially allowing bacterial or microbial contamination of the product. This poses an infection risk if contaminated units are used clinically.
The recalled product was distributed nationwide and internationally, including to Canada, Mexico, New Zealand, Belize, and Hong Kong. Healthcare facilities and consumers with affected units should contact Microtek Medical Inc. for guidance on product replacement or proper disposition.
