Churchill Medical Systems, a Vygon company, has initiated a nationwide recall of certain lots of five hospital-use convenience kits, according to an FDA release.
The kits contain skin-prep wipes affected by an April recall initiated by Smith & Nephew due to the potential for bacterial contamination. The skin-prep wipes were manufactured in the same facility as The Triad Group's affected products.
Testing was conducted by Smith & Nephew on product lots distributed and in quarantine and no contamination has been found to date, but Vygon has initiated the recall out of precaution, according to the release.
The convenience kits were shipped to distributors and hospitals between Sept. 3, 2010, and March 11.
