Medline CVC Barrier Kit Recalled for Breached Pouch Seals

Medline is recalling CVC barrier kits (Lot 22ABT774) due to breather pouches with seal openings that could compromise sterility of the surgical kit contents.

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: This is a Class II FDA medical device recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. However, the seal breach on sterile surgical equipment creates a risk-of-harm scenario where product sterility could be compromised before clinical use, potentially leading to infection or contamination during medical procedures.
