Hazard Information

Identified products were re-gassed (sterilized more than once) after a nonconformance occurred during the initial Ethylene Oxide (EO) gas injection process. These products have not been validated for exposure to multiple sterilization cycles. Therefore, product quality, safety, and effectiveness cannot be confirmed for product that was re-gassed.

What You Should Do

Patients and healthcare providers should stop using this device immediately. Follow the recall instructions provided by the manufacturer. Contact American Contract Systems Inc. or your healthcare provider for instructions. Notification method: Letter

About This Product

Medical convenience kits used in procedures involving PICC lines and G tubes. These kits are intended to streamline preparation and care in clinical settings.

Why This Is Dangerous

Re-gassing after EO sterilization means the product may have undergone more than one sterilization cycle without validation. This creates uncertainty about sterility, quality, and effectiveness.

Industry Context

This recall is not identified as part of a broader industry pattern.

Real-World Impact

Hospitals and clinics may need to halt use of affected lots. The recall affects 32,433 units and spans several states, potentially impacting patient procedures and sterilization workflows.

Practical Guidance

  1. 1. Check kit packaging for UDPG88W and UDI-DI 191072216359.
  2. 2. Verify lot number 7935611 and bag serial number; if serial is N/A, the entire lot is affected.
  3. 3. Compare with FDA recall notice for confirmation.
