GVS TM, Inc. is recalling 2,720 SQ40S Blood Transfusion Filters because the manufacturer cannot guarantee they are sterile. The products were released for distribution before required quality control tests were finished. Healthcare facilities should check their inventory for lot number 7536142 and contact the manufacturer or their distributor immediately for next steps.
Using a medical device without confirmed sterility poses a risk of introducing bacteria or other contaminants into a patient's bloodstream during a blood transfusion. This can lead to serious infections or other health complications for patients receiving treatment.
Products were released prior to completion of quality control release process.
