- Status
- Recall open, classified
- Why, in the FDA's words
- “During an internal investigation, ACS identified that several components were "piggybacked" to ACS trays and subjected to the ACS sterilization process. There is no supporting documentation stating the "piggybacked" components were assessed to determine if they were suitable for exposure to elevated temperatures for an extended period of time and further exposure to sterilization. As a result, the piggybacked components may (1) have a loss/lack of functionality, (2) loss of drug efficacy, if applicable, and (3) may have had higher than specified EO residuals.”

What it means
A recall is the FDA's record that a company is correcting or removing a device because of a problem. Many are fixed with a software update or new instructions; the record does not say whether anyone was hurt. See our plain guide to FDA terms.
