Plain-English summary
Medline Industries, LP is recalling 700 units of Sterile PVP (polyvinylpyrrolidone) solution, Ref DYNDA1649, with lot numbers 2022060190 and 2022021590. The product is identified by UDI/DI 40889942326519 for cases and 10889942326518 for individual units.
The product's labeling includes the word 'Sterile' or 'STRL', but the solution inside the foil sachet is non-sterile. This mismatch between labeling and actual sterility creates a potential contamination risk if the product is used in a clinical or sterile setting where sterile contents are expected.
The affected products were distributed nationwide in Connecticut, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, California, New York, and Florida. Patients and healthcare facilities in these states who have received this product should check their inventory against the lot numbers listed above.
