Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Integra LifeSciences Corp. has recalled 1,822 Integra Cranial Access Kits (without Prep solutions) Bit and Guard, which are used during ventriculostomy medical procedures. The recall was initiated because the sterile packaging (specifically the header bag) may have holes or tears, which can compromise the sterility of the instruments inside. This defect affects several lots with expiration dates in July and September 2025. Consumers should contact their healthcare provider or the manufacturer to discuss any concerns regarding these devices.

Risk

Holes or tears in the device packaging can allow contaminants to enter, compromising the sterility of the surgical tools. Using non-sterile instruments during a cranial procedure increases the risk of serious infection or other complications for the patient.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify your product by checking the packaging for Catalog Number INS5HND and UDI-DI 10381780263906.
  2. Check your device for the following affected lot numbers and expiration dates: 7257032 (Exp. 07/16/2025); 7275713 (Exp. 09/03/2025); 7291974 (Exp. 09/03/2025); 7312131 (Exp. 09/03/2025); 7289690 (Exp. 09/03/2025); 7291975 (Exp. 09/03/2025); 7312137 (Exp. 09/03/2025); and 7312139 (Exp. 09/03/2025).
