Description of the problem
The reason for the FSCA is due to a deficiency on the abdominal swab that is inside the dressing
set called "REF ME 0048 A- Verbandset A". The abdominal swab is falling in pmts and small
gauze threads are getting 1oose. In situations like this the potential hazard associated to this failure
is the gauze threads may stay inside the patient during a very sh01t time. This problern is of high
importance for the main intended use of the abdominal swab, therefore the recall of the affected
devices will take place immediately.
Advice on action to be taken by the user
The products have been manufactured by Medisp S.A. and sold to Salzmann AG only.
Medisp S.A. is responsib1e to initiate the retum of the products (recall) and therefore requires the
products to be placed in quarantine. Salzmann AG assures that the products will be in quarantine
at Salzmann' s facilities, this includes alllots that have been distributed to his customers.
