As Cardinal Health has recalled both its AAMI III Single Sterile Gowns and Presource® Packs which contain the AAMI III gowns, HealthPRO is working directly with Cardinal Health to provide timely updates to its membership as the situation evolves.

Members can log into the HealthPROCONNECT Portal in the MM Supply Disruptions section for updates on the situation, recommended member action and HealthPRO next steps.

Additionally, Cardinal Health has created a webpage dedicated to recent updates and customer communications which can be found at cardinalhealth.com/surgicalgownproductrecall.

HealthPRO members should continue working with their local Cardinal Health customer care representative on any specific or unique needs related to custom packs. If you are unsure of your representative, please find below the general inboxes that Cardinal uses to manage the influx of requests and the general number as an additional resource.
