Plain-English summary
Medline Industries is recalling medical procedure convenience kits containing surgical patties and strips in 38 different SKU configurations from specific manufacturing lots. Approximately 6,467 kits are affected, labeled with names including SINUS CDS-1, NASAL PACK, FESS PACK-POB, SINUS PACK, ENT PACK, TRANSPHENOIDAL PACK, HEAD AND NECK PACK, and others.
The surgical patties and strips in these kits were found to contain higher-than-expected levels of endotoxin in the raw material used to produce the sterile components. This resulted in out-of-specification endotoxin levels in the finished goods. Endotoxin is a bacterial component that can trigger inflammatory responses and pyrogenic reactions when present in sterile medical products.
The recalled kits were distributed nationwide in the United States and in Canada. Healthcare facilities and providers who have received affected kits should stop using them and contact Medline Industries for guidance on returns or replacements. Affected lot numbers are identified by UDI-DI and SKU code. No illnesses or injuries have been reported to date.
