Sterile Ophthalmic Procedure Trays Recalled for Packaging Integrity Risk
Medline Industries is recalling sterile ophthalmic procedure trays because blades in the kits can puncture the outer foil packaging, potentially compromising sterility. The recall affects 1,200 units distributed worldwide.
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 an FDA Class II recall of sterile surgical instruments where the potential hazard—packaging compromise leading to sterility breach—has not resulted in reported injuries or illnesses. It qualifies as a risk-of-harm product per the rubric, as use of non-sterile surgical instruments in ophthalmologic procedures could cause serious infection.
Plain-English summary
Medline Industries, LP is recalling specific sterile ophthalmic (eye) procedure trays due to a packaging defect.

These recalled products include multiple tray types labeled as Basic Eye Pack-LF, Vitrectomy Pack-LF, Eye Pack-East-LF, and numerous other eye and oculoplastic surgical packs. The recall affects 260 cases (1,200 units) that were distributed worldwide, including the United States, Canada, Japan, Mexico, Panama, Turks & Caicos, and the United Arab Emirates.
Healthcare facilities that received these trays should stop using the affected lot numbers immediately and contact Medline Industries for return instructions.
