Surgical kits recalled due to compromised sterile wrapping
Medline Industries is recalling multiple CENTURION MEDICAL PRODUCTS surgical kits because perforated packaging compromises the sterile barrier. Only contents inside the kit wrapping maintain sterility.
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 recall involving a risk-of-harm product—surgical kits with compromised sterility could lead to post-operative infections. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, keeping the score at 3 per the rubric criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Medline Industries, LP is recalling multiple CENTURION MEDICAL PRODUCTS surgical convenience kits, including chest tube insertion trays, vasectomy kits, laceration trays, suture sets, and umbilical catheter insertion trays. A total of 2,753 units were distributed nationwide.
The recall is due to perforations in the outer packaging bag. These perforations prevent the exterior packaging from maintaining sterility, leaving only the contents inside the kit wrapping sterile. This packaging defect compromises the sterile barrier that these surgical kits are designed to provide.
This recall affects healthcare facilities and medical providers nationwide who received these kits. Healthcare professionals should verify they are not using affected lot numbers and contact their supplier or Medline Industries for guidance on returning or replacing the affected kits.
