Bausch + Lomb Ophthalmic Surgical Kits Recalled for Sterile Packaging Defect
Medline Industries is recalling 800 Bausch + Lomb Basic Ophthalmic surgical kits (Lot 22DBN365) for defective breather pouch seals. Opened seals in the packaging compromise the sterile conditions required for surgical procedures.
What this means for you
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: FDA Class II medical device recall for defective sterile packaging on surgical kits. While no injuries or illnesses have been reported, compromised seal integrity on sterile surgical equipment poses a risk of surgical site contamination, meeting the criteria for High-severity classification per the rubric.
Plain-English summary
Medline Industries is recalling 800 units of the Bausch + Lomb Basic Ophthalmic Pack (Reference LYN023BSBLB, Lot Number 22DBN365) distributed nationwide. The recalled kits were distributed in California, Minnesota, North Carolina, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Texas.
The recall was initiated after Medline received complaints that some breather pouches within the sterile surgical kits show openings in the seal. These seal defects compromise the sterile barrier protection that is essential for surgical use.
