| Issue: | The recall is being conducted as a precautionary measure due to out of specification results observed at the 18-month time point (out of 18-month licensed shelf life to expiration) during a COSEAL stability study. The parameter that is out of specification is an indicator of possible failure for the product to gel appropriately. COSEAL's failure to gel does not represent risk for the patient's life. All other stability requirements were met. |
