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: FDA Class II recall of a surgical implant device with inability to confirm sterilization assurance. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, but the product represents a potential risk of harm given its use as a surgical implant.

Plain-English summary

American Contract Systems, Inc. is recalling 93 units of the Endovascular AAA Pack, ESED52B, a medical convenience kit used in endovascular procedures.

The recall was issued because an inoperable chart recorder prevented adequate monitoring of humidity levels in a controlled environment area during the manufacturing process. Humidity readings fell outside acceptable specifications, and the manufacturer cannot confirm that product sterilization assurance requirements were met.

The product was distributed nationwide to facilities in Missouri, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Ohio, and Nebraska. The affected lot is 2405153 with expiration 05/15/2025 (UDI-DI: 00191072218339).
