Medline Sterile Procedural Trays Recalled Over Blade Puncture Risk

Medline recalls sterile procedural trays because sterile blades may puncture the outer foil packaging, compromising device sterility. The 314-case recall affects hospitals in the US, Canada, Japan, Mexico, Panama, Turks & Caicos, and UAE.

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 FDA Class II recall involves sterile medical devices used in high-risk cardiac and surgical procedures. No illnesses or injuries have been reported. The hazard is theoretical—sterile blades have the potential to puncture sterile packaging—which fits the rubric criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

The affected products include multiple tray types such as Cardiac Cath Pack-LF, Angiography-NS-LF, EP Basic Set Up Pack, Implant Pack-LF, Port Pacemaker Insertion Pack, Open Heart Pack, Lap Basin Tray, and Angio models.

Sterile blades contained within these kits have the potential to puncture the outer foil layer of the sterile packaging. If the packaging is breached, the sterility of the medical devices could be compromised.
