Medline Medical Kits Recalled Due to Potential Lack of Sterility

Medline is recalling approximately 3,900 medical device kits and trays nationwide due to potential sterility failures in irrigating solution components. The affected products may not be sterile, creating a risk of infection.

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 medical device recall. According to the severity rubric, FDA Class I recalls warrant a Critical (5) rating, the most serious category of medical device recall.

Plain-English summary

Medline Industries, LP is recalling approximately 3,900 kits, trays, and packs used in medical settings. Affected products include Port Access Trays (REF DYNDA2863, DYNDA2863H), Ultrasound Guided IV Start Kits (REF DYNDV2518, DYNDV2518H, DYNDV2445, DYNDV2465), NICU Insertion and Dressing Change Tray (REF EBSI1306A), and PIV BSI Kit (REF BSIPIV1010).

The recall is due to a potential lack of sterility in certain component lots of irrigating solutions (0.9% Sodium Chloride Irrigation USP, Sterile Water for Irrigation USP, and Saline Flush Syringe) that were used to assemble these kits. If these solutions are not sterile, they could introduce pathogens or contamination into patient care settings, creating a serious infection risk.

The affected products were distributed nationwide across the United States, including Puerto Rico, as well as internationally to Canada, the United Arab Emirates, and Panama. Healthcare facilities and medical providers should check their inventory against the specific lot numbers listed in the recall.

If your facility received any of these products, immediately remove them from use and do not use them on patients. Contact Medline Industries for return authorization and replacement products. Report any adverse events or injuries related to these kits to Medline and the FDA MedWatch program.
