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.

Plain-English summary

Medline Industries has recalled 1,450 units of the SHORT TERM INFUSAPORT ACCESS KIT (reorder number DYNDC3188) distributed nationwide in the United States. The recall was initiated because the kits contained Procedure Masks with SO SOFT Earloops and SOFT TOUCH II Surgical Masks that were recalled for failing to meet bioburden testing requirements specified in EN 14683, an international standard for surgical mask performance.

Bioburden testing ensures that surgical masks meet strict microbial contamination limits required for safe use in sterile medical procedures. Masks that fail these requirements may not provide adequate sterility protection, which could affect the safety of infusion port access procedures.

The affected kit is identified by reorder number DYNDC3188, with UDI/DI codes 10653160348825 (each) and 00653160348828 (case). The recalled lot numbers are 2024040390, 2024051490, 2024070590, and 2024100790. Healthcare facilities and providers who received these kits should quarantine them and contact Medline Industries for replacement stock or further instructions.
