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 structural packaging defect that compromises the sterile barrier of a medical device kit. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, making this a risk-of-harm situation where the theoretical hazard of contamination has not yet resulted in documented harm.

Plain-English summary

Medline Industries, LP is recalling 1537 Surgical Convenience Kits labeled MEDLINE LCPH LAB DRAW KIT (Reorder Number DYNDH1641A, Lot 22HMH339) distributed nationwide. These kits are designed to provide sterile contents for medical procedures and lab work.

The outer bag has a perforation that prevents the exterior wrapping from being sterile. While the contents inside the kit wrapping remain sterile, the non-sterile outer surface creates a potential contamination pathway.

This defect compromises the integrity of the sterile barrier that the kit is designed to provide during handling, storage, and use. Healthcare providers should be aware that the external surface cannot be relied upon as a sterile barrier.
