Sterile Femoral Angiography Drape Recall Due to Sticking Plastic Film

Cardinal Health is recalling sterile femoral angiography drapes because the plastic film causes drapes to stick, which may prevent proper unfolding and application during procedures.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is a risk-of-harm medical device recall where drape failure could compromise sterile field integrity during surgical procedures. No injuries have been reported, but the potential for infection or surgical complications exists if the drape cannot be properly deployed.

Plain-English summary

Cardinal Health 200, LLC is recalling Sterile Femoral Angiography Drapes with catalog numbers 29460 and 29456. These drapes are intended to be used as protective patient coverings to isolate the surgical incision site from microbial and other contamination.

The plastic film used to manufacture these drapes is causing them to stick, which may prevent the products from being unfolded and applied properly. This issue affects approximately 5,342 units that were distributed nationwide in both single sterile and bulk non-sterile configurations.

Healthcare facilities that have received these drapes should stop using them and contact Cardinal Health for replacement. Patients who have had procedures using these affected drapes should consult their healthcare provider if they have concerns about their surgical site.
