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 a risk-of-harm medical device where sterilization assurance cannot be confirmed. While the hazard is theoretical (no illnesses reported), the use of a potentially non-sterile surgical instrument poses a significant infection risk to patients, meeting the rubric criterion for High severity.
Plain-English summary
American Contract Systems, Inc. is recalling the Bilateral Tubal Ligation Pack, model FHBT3T (Lot 2405102, expiration 05/10/2025), a medical convenience kit used in tubal ligation procedures.
The recall was initiated because a chart recorder in one of the manufacturer's controlled environment areas became inoperable, causing humidity readings to fall out of specification. As a result, the manufacturer cannot confirm that sterilization assurance requirements were met for the affected units.
The recall affects 18 units that were distributed nationwide to facilities in Missouri, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Ohio, and Nebraska. No injuries or illnesses have been reported. Affected healthcare facilities and practitioners should contact American Contract Systems, Inc. for instructions on returning or disposing of the recalled units.
