The agency’s classification

FDA (Devices): 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 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the hazard involves the potential use of non-sterile medical devices without sterilization, which poses a risk of harm even though no specific injuries are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Medline Industries Inc is recalling 80 units of Kit Model #650301018, MTO Vascular Surgery - Cleveland Clinic PG. These kits are intended for use in NAMIC Cath Lab and Interventional Radiology (IR) settings and consist of devices from the NAMIC Fluid Management product families. The recall is classified as Class II by the FDA.

The recall was initiated because non-sterile kits intended to be sterilized prior to use were sold to accounts that did not have the capabilities to perform sterilization. This creates a risk that the devices may be used without proper sterilization.

The affected products were distributed nationwide, including in the states of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Ohio, Texas, and New York. The recall includes Lot 5554524 with an expiration date of 12/31/2022, as well as a second lot with no recorded lot number or expiration date. Users should stop using these kits and contact Medline Industries for further instructions.
