Medline Pacemaker Implant Pack Recalled for Subpotent Iodine Concentration

Medline Industries is recalling Pacemaker Implant Packs 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 potential for significant injury or property damage (or structural defects) are rated Severe (4). While no specific injuries are reported in the text, the subpotent nature of a sterile prep product for implant surgery carries significant risk.
