## Product

Nitinol Staple, Elastic Staple Small-Symmetrical, Sterile R, Model #: a) ES-08x08; b) ES-10x10; c) ES-10x13; d) ES-12x10; e) ES-15x12; f) ES-10x14; g) ES-10x15

## Reason for recall

During a retrospective review of sterilization records, TriMed has determined that evidence of quarterly  dose audits/verification required to comply with the regulations could not be found. Sterilization  records indicate that all lots of staples were irradiated to at least the defined dose. There is a risk that this issue could result in patient infection if not properly sterilized.
