Plain-English summary
Medline Industries, LP is recalling Bausch + Lomb Eye Pack surgical kits (Reference LYN003EYSPA, Lot 22DBM504) due to defects in the breather pouches. The company received complaints indicating that some breather pouches in the sterile surgical kits have openings in their seals.
A compromised seal on sterile surgical kit components risks allowing microbial contamination or other foreign material to enter the kit during storage or handling. This could potentially compromise the sterility of surgical instruments and materials intended for ophthalmic surgical procedures.
The affected kits were distributed nationwide in California, Minnesota, North Carolina, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Texas. A total of 95 kits are subject to this recall.
Users should discontinue use of affected kits immediately. Healthcare facilities and consumers in possession of the recalled product should contact Medline Industries for replacement or disposal instructions.
