What the authority reported
The IFUs for the devices identifiers previously included cleaning methods other than manual cleaning and pre-vacuum steam as the approved reprocessing modalities. The IFU was updated to only include these two methods moving forward; therefore, there is a risk that a reprocessing modality that is not currently cleared could be utilized for reprocessing these devices. Recall start date: July 25, 2024
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.
