Medline Wound Closure Tray Recalled for Subpotent Iodine Concentration

Medline Industries is recalling 80 cases of Wound Closure Trays because the iodine concentration in the prep pads is below the labeled claim of 0.85%.

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 reported, the subpotent nature of a sterile wound care product in a Class II recall warrants a Severe rating under the provided constraints for non-Class I/III significant risks.
