Product

Medisafe Distal Duck Kit and Duck Bag, Cleaner, ultrasonic, medical instrument - Product Usage: intended to keep instruments moist during transportation between point of use and cleaning as an initial step of reprocessing.

Reason

STERIS has identified that certain lots of diluted 4-Zyme may contain bacteria, specifically Pseudomonas fluorescens.
