Medline Catheter Care Tray Recalled for Subpotent Iodine Concentration

Medline Industries is recalling lidded catheter care trays because the povidone-iodine prep pads contain less iodine than the label claims.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classification is FDA Class II. Per the rubric, FDA Class II recalls are assigned a score of 4 (Severe), particularly when involving significant injury or property damage reports, or structural defects, though here it is a subpotent drug issue which still warrants the higher classification due to the potential for treatment failure.
