Medline Medical Procedure Convenience Kits Recalled for Potential Non-Sterility Risk

Medline is recalling certain medical procedure convenience kits due to a breather pouch seal defect. If the pouch seal is opened or compromised, the product may not be sterile and could pose a health risk during surgical use.

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 recall of sterile surgical kits where packaging seal defects could result in non-sterile product being used in surgical procedures. This qualifies as a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported, meeting the rubric criteria for High severity.
