Flamingo Funnel Small surgical device recalled for sterilization defect
SurgiSmoke Solutions is recalling certain lots of the Flamingo Funnel Small (Model SQ20012-01) due to a manufacturing issue involving use of a non-gamma sterilization compatible drape.
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: This is an FDA Class II recall. The source text identifies a manufacturing nonconformance (use of incompatible drape material) but does not report any illnesses, injuries, or hospitalization. The defect is a sterilization-process compatibility issue that reduces assurance of proper sterilization, qualifying as a non-critical manufacturing defect without reported harm.
