Medline Recalls IV Start Kits With Subpotent Povidone-Iodine
Medline Industries is recalling IV Start Kits because the Povidone-Iodine prep pads contain less iodine than labeled.
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, and the rubric specifies that FDA Class II recalls with significant injury or property damage reports, or structural defects, are Severe. While no injuries are explicitly reported, the subpotent nature of a sterile medical device used for skin prep in invasive procedures carries a significant risk of harm, aligning with the Severe criteria for high-risk products where injury has not yet been reported but the defect is significant.
