Sterility and contamination recalls
Sterility recalls cover injectable medication, surgical and wound-care supplies and the equipment used with them. A breach of sterility does not mean anyone was harmed; it means the product can no longer be assumed safe for its use, so the notice usually asks clinicians and distributors to quarantine remaining stock.
