China NMPA Product Recall - Disposable surgical gowns

The National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) announced on December 10, 2018, that Jiangxi Danmei Industrial Co., Ltd. initiated a voluntary Class III recall of its disposable surgical gowns. This action was taken because the product, identified by Registration No.: Gan Food and Drug Administration Medical Device No. 2640197, failed to meet required quality standards. Specifically, investigations revealed deficiencies in tensile strength and other unspecified items that did not comply with established specifications for medical devices. This non-conformance suggested a potential impact on the product's performance and safety within a clinical environment.

Under the regulatory oversight of the NMPA, Jiangxi Danmei Industrial Co., Ltd. proceeded with this recall to uphold patient safety and ensure compliance. The Class III recall designation indicates that the product's defect is unlikely to cause serious adverse health consequences. However, the company is still required to remove affected batches from the market. Comprehensive details regarding the specific models, specifications, and batch numbers involved are documented in the official "Medical Device Recall Event Report Form." This recall highlights the NMPA's role in monitoring and enforcing quality standards across the medical device sector in China.
