Medline Industries is recalling 69,611 units of its single-use curved Iris Scissors because a defect in the packaging may compromise the sterile seal. The tip protector on these 4.5-inch surgical scissors can fall off inside the package and puncture the sterile barrier system. Using non-sterile instruments during medical procedures can lead to serious patient infections, though no injuries or incidents have been reported to date.
The detached tip protector may puncture the packaging from the inside, causing the device to lose its sterility before use. If healthcare providers use these contaminated scissors during a procedure, patients may be exposed to pathogens that cause surgical site infections.
Model DYNJ04049 refers to cases; Model DYNJ04049H refers to eaches.
