Sterile Surgical Trays Recalled for Potential Sterile Packaging Puncture

Medline Industries recalls sterile surgical procedural trays because blades within the kits could puncture the sterile outer packaging, potentially compromising sterility during surgical use.

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: FDA Class II recall with a potential risk of harm to patients from compromised sterile packaging on surgical instruments. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, making this a theoretical risk-of-harm scenario that warrants a High severity rating.

Plain-English summary

Medline Industries, LP is recalling multiple models of sterile surgical procedural trays used in gynecological, urological, and robotic surgical procedures. The trays are affected because sterile blades within the kits have the potential to puncture the outer foil layer of the sterile packaging.

If the sterile packaging is punctured, the sterility of the surgical instruments could be compromised, potentially exposing patients to contaminated instruments during surgery. This could result in surgical site infections or other complications.

The recall affects 8,064 cases (12,425 units) distributed worldwide to the United States, Canada, Japan, Mexico, Panama, Turks & Caicos, and United Arab Emirates. Healthcare facilities that have received these trays should remove them from service and contact Medline Industries for instructions on return or replacement.
