Plain-English summary
Medline Industries, LP is recalling multiple surgical kits, trays, and packs that contain specific components manufactured by Nurse Assist. The affected components include 0.9% Sodium Chloride Irrigation USP, Sterile Water for Irrigation USP, and Saline Flush Syringe. The recall was issued due to the potential lack of sterility in these components, which could result in non-sterile solution being distributed.
The affected kits include products used for various procedures, including thyroid surgery, bronchoscopy, ENT procedures, nasal surgery, and central line cap changes. The recalled products were manufactured with specific lot numbers and have been distributed nationwide throughout the United States, including Puerto Rico, as well as in Canada, the UAE, and Panama.
Consumers and healthcare providers who have received affected products should stop use immediately and contact Medline Industries for return and replacement instructions.
