Device Use

The Regard Operative Lap P&S Surgical Kit is a single-use, surgical kit, containing surgical tools and materials for various surgical procedures in different medical areas.

Reason for Recall

ROi CPS, LLC is recalling their Regard Operative Lap P&S Surgical Kit due to the possibility they may not be sterile. The surgical kits were built with a recalled item from a separate Class I recall from Nurse Assist. Nurse Assist, LLC recalled their 0.9% sodium chloride irrigation USP and sterile water for irrigation USP due to the potential for a lack of sterility.  In populations most at risk, such as patients who have a weakened immune system, there is a possibility that the use of the affected product could potentially result in severe or life-threatening adverse events.

There have been zero reports of injury or death.
