Microtek Medical, Inc. is recalling approximately 2,024 boxes of Microtek and Ecolab Patient Drapes and Adapter Plug Kits. These kits, used to connect drainage hoses to medical fluid devices, are being recalled because products that are not sterile were incorrectly labeled and sold as sterile. No injuries or infections have been reported to date, but these items were distributed to hospitals and clinics across 20 states.
Using medical equipment that is falsely labeled as sterile creates a significant risk of bacterial contamination and serious infection during medical procedures. Patients could be exposed to pathogens in environments where sterility is required for safety.
