Summary

Company Announcement

On November 21, 2023, Busse Hospital Disposals initiated a nationwide recall of medical device kits and trays containing (1) Nurse Assist part 6240, Stericare 100ML Sterile Saline Botle. This is the only saline contained in the trays/kits. Busse initiated this recall in direct response to Nurse Assist LLC’s, November 6, 2023, recall of 0.9% sodium chloride irrigation USP and sterile water for irrigation USP, due to potential lack of sterility assurance, which could result in a nonsterile product.

The recalled Busse kits/trays were manufactured and distributed to medical device distributors from July 2022 to November 2023.
