Medline I&D Tray Kits Recalled for Subpotent Povidone-Iodine Concentration

Medline Industries is recalling I&D Tray Kits because the Povidone-Iodine prep pads contain less iodine than the label claims.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Drugs): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. 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 surgical prep product in a Class II recall aligns with the Severe tier for significant risk.
