Plain-English summary
Medline convenience kits DYNJ901047R (ORTHO SPINE FUMICH), DYNJ902308K (TOTAL JOINT), DYNJ909111F (DR SALMA'S SPINE), DYNJ909117G (PATTERSON TOTAL JOINT) and DYNJ909113F (KYPHOPLASTY) are being recalled.
The firm received multiple complaints of anesthesia circuit leaks due to cracks in the 120 inch expandable tubing. Medline states that cracks and resulting leaks may lead to hypoxia, hypoventilation and inadequate delivery of inhaled anesthetic agents, which may result in serious injury or death, and that volatile anesthetics may also escape into the operating room environment.
The action covers 96,406 total units across the affected kits. The Dr Salma's Spine kit carries case UDI-DI 40198459130794 and each UDI-DI 10198459130793, lots 25FBE036 and 25GBV759. Distribution was nationwide in the United States and internationally to Mexico and Panama. The FDA has classified the recall as Class I, its most serious category.
Facilities should quarantine affected lots immediately and follow Medline's instructions.
