Surgical Tracheostomy Kit Recalled Due to Perforated Outer Wrapping Compromising Sterility

Medline Industries has recalled 120 units of Centurion Medical Products Tracheostomy Tray due to a perforated outer bag that prevents the exterior from remaining sterile, though the kit contents remain sterile.

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: This is a Class II medical device recall involving a sterility assurance defect in surgical kits with no reported illnesses or injuries. The perforated outer bag creates a potential contamination risk during use, meeting the High severity criterion for risk-of-harm products without reported harm.

Plain-English summary

Medline Industries is recalling Centurion Medical Products Tracheostomy Tray kits (Reorder Number TC7470, Lot #22GME959) distributed nationwide. The recall affects 120 units of this surgical convenience kit.

The recall is due to perforations in the outer bag. These perforations prevent the exterior wrapping from remaining sterile, meaning only the contents inside the kit wrapping can be considered sterile. This compromises the intended sterility assurance of the product.
