Medline Adult Blood Culture Kits Recalled Due to Unlabeled Component Expiration Dates
Medline is recalling specific Adult Blood Culture Kits because the expiration date of an internal Bactec component is not reflected on the kit insert, creating a risk of using an expired component.
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: This is a risk-of-harm product where no illnesses or injuries have been reported. The hazard is theoretical—expired internal components not labeled on the kit insert—but blood culture kits are critical for infection diagnostics and expired components could compromise test accuracy.
