According to the information known, the quality database was checked and revealed the field safety notice associated with the corrective and preventive action z-0844-2025.All the affected products were recalled on the 5 previous years.The investigation resulted in some corrective actions like the change of the packaging foil, new control tools, and retraining of operators.A similar case study was performed based on the recall scope.Defect: packaging issue or infection from (b)(6) 2025: 17 similar cases were found.A medical assessment was also performed which concluded: the risk of infection cannot be eliminated, essentially through a contamination cascade from the outer pouch breach to the external surface of the inner pouch, then to the surgeon¿s glove, then to the patient.Taking into account the multiple risk ratios for each step of the cascade, and based on the sensitivity analysis performed, the final risk is not expected to exceed the usual highest rates reported in literature for each device family.
