Plain-English summary
Medline Industries is recalling BAUSCH + LOMB PHACO surgical kits (reference number LYN011PHNHD, lot 22DBM505) after receiving complaints about seal defects in the breather pouches. Some breather pouches within these sterile surgical kits show openings in the seal.
Approximately 160 kits were affected by this recall. The defective kits were distributed nationwide to healthcare facilities in California, Minnesota, North Carolina, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Texas.
The openings in the breather pouch seals compromise the sterility barrier of the surgical kit contents, potentially allowing contamination to enter the package. This defect creates a risk of contamination during surgical procedures in which these kits are used.
