The tip protector on the scissors might fall off, which could allow the “sharp tip of the scissors [to] compromise the sterile barrier system by puncturing large and/or small holes that may not be visible to the user,” according to the FDA. 

The recalled products are the 4.5 inch curved Medline Sterile Iris Scissors that were distributed across the U.S., Canada, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
