Risk Statement
This voluntary recall has been initiated as a precautionary measure due to the detection of microbial presence. The tested samples identified the presence of Lysinibacillus fusiformis. Lysinibacillus fusiformi s is an environmental, spore-forming bacterium.
While it is generally considered to have low pathogenicity in healthy individuals, it can survive in adverse conditions and may act as an opportunistic organism. Patients with open wounds, compromised skin barriers, or weakened immune systems (e.g., elderly, diabetic, or immunocompromised individuals) may be at increased risk for infection, skin irritation, and / or delayed wound healing. In immunocompromised individuals, including those with poorly controlled diabetes, elderly individuals with immune senescence, and young children with an immature immune system, these infections may become severe and lead to life-threatening complications such as endocarditis or central system infection.
The product is used as a topical antiseptic for first aid to help prevent the risk of infection in minor cuts, scrapes, and burns and is packaged in a 1 oz. bottle and 3 oz. tube . The Revitaderm® Wound Care Gel can be identified by its purple trim and Tridergel™ Wound Care can be identified by its light blue trim. The 1 oz. bottle has two cap configurations, twist and longer pointy cap, and is secured with a shrink / body band. The bottle has the expiration date and lot number printed on the bottom portion of the bottle.
