Surgical gown recall leaves medical centers scrambling
(31 Jan) Millions of surgical gowns made in China are being recalled because they may not be sterile. Surgeries are now being canceled in some hospitals.
The company said these facilities did not "maintain proper environmental conditions." Problems included gowns exposed to contaminants through open windows, failure to provide hand sanitation, and operators eating in the production area.
In fact in 2018, Cardinal Health had discovered that the supplier used an unregistered factory to produce the products, but after testing the company thought it would not affect the products, so it didn’t report it to the FDA at that time.
Surgical gowns are usually packed with other surgical equipments when shipped, so everything in the package may be contaminated. Cardinal Health said it has stopped working with Siyang HolyMed and will cooperate with the FDA's investigation.
