What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class I medical device recall. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, FDA Class I recalls are assigned only for conditions with serious potential for harm. The potential for non-sterile solutions in wound care applications creates significant risk of infection and is classified as Severe (4) in the absence of reported incidents.

Plain-English summary

Medline Industries, LP is recalling certain wound irrigation kits (model CHP WOUND IRRIGATION KIT, REF DYK1017614W) that were manufactured using components supplied by Nurse Assist. The recalled kits contain 0.9% Sodium Chloride Irrigation USP, Sterile Water for Irrigation USP, and Saline Flush Syringes that may not meet sterility requirements.

The components used in these kits could be non-sterile, which poses a risk of contamination when used for wound irrigation. Non-sterile solutions can introduce infection at the wound site during patient care.
