Cardinal health has been informed by beaver visitec of a field safety notice for the beaver xstar safety knives (contained in the cardinal health kits). the knives feature an integrated retractable safety shield to minimize the risk of accidental surgical blade injuries during handling. beaver visitec has received 20 complaints in which the protective shield was retracted thereby exposing the blade. the knives are provided in a tyvek covered tray and customers are advised prior to opening the tyvek tray to visually confirm that the plastic shield is not retracted. if the shield is in the retracted position the knife remains fully functional for its intended use.
