Description

Reason

Surgical convenience kits containing Pure Pouch component that has weak seals which may result in a breach in sterility of the contents if the seal fails.

Action

The recalling firm issued two different letters on and dated 3/14/2024 via first class mail and email. One of the letters was for the recall of the non-sterile kits and the other letter was flagged as a Safety Alert for the sterile kits.

The labels will be provided via FedEx overnight; and (4) If the account is a distributor or has resold or transferred this product to another company or individual, the account is to notify them of this recall communication.
