China NMPA Product Recall - Disposable surgical gowns

The National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) announced a voluntary Class III recall initiated by Guizhou Junjiang Industrial Co., Ltd. on April 2, 2021. The recall pertains to the company's disposable surgical gowns, specifically those associated with Registration Certificate No. "黔械注准20172640017". The primary reason for this action is that the sterility of the product failed to meet the "Technical Requirements for Disposable Surgical Gowns." This regulatory action falls under the purview of the NMPA, which oversees medical device safety and quality standards in China. The company's decision to voluntarily recall the product demonstrates adherence to national medical device regulations, ensuring that products distributed meet established health and safety criteria. A Class III recall indicates that the use of or exposure to a violative product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences. Guizhou Junjiang Industrial Co., Ltd. has taken the necessary steps to remove the non-conforming disposable surgical gowns from the market. Further details regarding specific batch numbers and product specifications are available in the accompanying "Medical Device Recall Event Report Form." This measure underscores the importance of maintaining stringent quality control to safeguard public health and ensure the efficacy and safety of medical devices.
