Ecolab Recalls Microtek Angiography Drapes Due to Packaging Defects

Ecolab is recalling specific Microtek angiography drapes because their sterile packaging may contain small holes in the film, potentially compromising sterility.

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, but the source text does not report any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations. The hazard is a potential breach of sterility due to packaging defects, which fits the criteria for a moderate risk where harm is possible but not reported.
