    Reason

    There may be voids located in the seal of Tyvek pouches associated with identified catalog numbers and lots. A compromised sterile barrier has potential of bioburden contamination which could lead to infection.

    Action

    On December 16, 2025, the firm began notifying customers via "URGENT: MEDICAL DEVICE RECALL" letters. Customers were instructed to discontinue use of affected product and to return product for Vortex Surgical to evaluate the seals; use UPS account 23623Y to ship unused products to Vortex Surgical Inc for replacement or refund at: Attn: Andrew Ritts Recall Tyvek Seal, Vortex Surgical Inc., 4 Research Park Dr., Suite 124, St. Charles, MO 63304; complete and return the Acknowledgement and Receipt Form via mail or email to: [email protected]. Actions have been implemented to improve training of individuals associated with sealing and inspecting seals to prevent reoccurrence. The sealer associated with the issue is being updated to include a guard to prevent reoccurrence. If you have any questions, contact the Director of Regulatory Affairs at 635-778-4350 or email to: [email protected] from 8am to 5pm.
