What the authority reported
Specific lots of sutures were sterilized with gamma doses that exceeded the range approved. The extra gamma levels may decrease the strength of the sutures over time, which could result in harms such as wound dehiscence and hemorrhage/blood loss/ bleeding at a critical level.
What to do
Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
