Surgical kits and trays recalled due to lack of sterility
Medline Industries is recalling over 3,200 surgical kits and trays containing components that may lack sterility. The recalled products could pose infection risk to patients if used during surgical procedures.
What this means for you
Highest-severity recall. Risk of serious injury or death is documented or strongly suspected. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class I recall, which indicates a potentially serious health hazard. The potential lack of sterility in surgical irrigation solutions could result in serious infections during medical procedures, directly supporting the FDA's Class I classification.
Plain-English summary
Medline Industries, LP is recalling 3,297 surgical kits, trays, and packs that were manufactured using specific lots of components from Nurse Assist, including 0.9% Sodium Chloride Irrigation USP, Sterile Water for Irrigation USP, and Saline Flush Syringe. The recalled products are identified by multiple reference numbers (such as ASC GENERAL MINOR CDS, C NURSE BAG KIT, LAP CHOLE CDS, LAPAROSCOPY PACK, and others as listed in the FDA notice).
The recall was initiated due to potential lack of sterility in the Nurse Assist components. Non-sterile irrigation solutions could introduce bacterial contamination during surgical procedures where these kits are used.
The recalled kits were distributed nationwide across the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada, United Arab Emirates, and Panama. Healthcare facilities and surgical centers that received these products should verify their inventory against the FDA recall notice using the provided lot numbers and reference codes to identify affected units.
