Why it was recalled

Affected products were manufactured with materials found to have a bioburden level exceeding the limit at which the product's sterilization process was validated. As a result, the firm cannot provide full assurance that the affected products were effectively sterilized, and the product may compromise a sterile field and increase the risk of a surgical site infection.

Class II means using this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; the chance of serious harm is remote.
