Medline CABG surgical convenience kits recalled due to sterility issue

Medline is recalling 80 units of MEDLINE CABG PACK surgical convenience kits (Lot #22HMH432) nationwide because the perforated bag design cannot maintain sterility of the outer packaging wrapping.

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 medical device recall for a sterility assurance defect in surgical convenience kits. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, but the compromised outer packaging presents a potential risk of contamination or infection during surgical procedures.

Plain-English summary

Medline Industries is recalling 80 units of MEDLINE CABG PACK surgical convenience kits (Lot #22HMH432, GTIN 401934899531530) distributed nationwide with Reorder Number DYNDA2827.

The recall is due to a perforated bag design in the kits that does not maintain sterility of the outer kit wrapping. As a result, only the contents within the kit's inner wrapping can be assured to be sterile; the external wrapping may not meet sterility requirements.

This packaging defect creates a risk that surgical materials may be compromised by non-sterile outer packaging. Healthcare facilities that received these kits should verify their inventory against the affected lot number and contact Medline Industries for guidance on appropriate handling or return procedures. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration classified this as a Class II recall.
