Halyard medical convenience kits recalled for neurological sponges with inconsistent endotoxin levels
What this means
Halyard medical convenience kits contain Ritmed Neurological Sponges that may have unexpected variability in endotoxin levels. Endotoxins are bacterial substances that could trigger an immune response if present at higher-than-expected levels. About 11,763 kits across multiple surgical specialties are affected.
- Check if your facility uses any of the listed Halyard kit models (ACEN89, ALBK51, DRBS37, DRNS92, DRSP26, and others listed in the full recall notice).
- Review the specific lot numbers provided by Halyard to determine if your kits are affected.
- Contact Halyard or your medical supplier for instructions on returning or replacing the affected kits.
- Do not use affected kits until you confirm they are not on the recall list.
