Karl Storz Endoscopy is recalling a package of 25 Insufflation Gas Filters used with endoscopes for veterinary procedures because they may not have been adequately sterilized despite being labeled as sterile. The recall affects 1 package containing 25 individual units that were distributed in California. No incidents or injuries have been reported in connection with this issue, and the company initiated the recall voluntarily via email notification.
The filters are labeled as sterile but lack assurance of sterility, which could introduce contaminants or pathogens during veterinary endoscopic procedures, potentially leading to infection in the animal being treated.
You have 2 options:
Quantity: 1 package of 25 units; veterinary use only.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
