Medline Surgical Shoulder Suspension Kits Recalled for Sterility Compromise

Medline is recalling 1,280 SHOULDER SUSPENSION surgical kits nationwide due to a defective perforated bag that fails to maintain sterility on the kit's exterior, potentially compromising the sterile contents inside.

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 involving sterility compromise in surgical kits. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, but the packaging defect creates a risk of contamination during surgical procedures, meeting the criteria for a high-severity risk-of-harm product.

Plain-English summary

Medline Industries is recalling 1,280 units of SHOULDER SUSPENSION surgical convenience kits nationwide. The affected kits are identified by Reorder Number DYNJSHOULDER, GTIN 10080196597383, and Lot # 22DBN321.

The recall is due to a defect in the kit's packaging. The kits contain a perforated bag that does not allow the exterior wrapping to maintain sterility. While the contents inside the kit wrapping are sterile, the outer wrapping is not. This packaging design can compromise the sterility assurance when the kit is opened or handled, potentially allowing non-sterile surfaces to contaminate the surgical instruments inside.

No illnesses or injuries related to this defect have been reported. Customers and healthcare facilities should immediately stop using these kits. Check inventory for the affected lot number and quarantine any units. Contact Medline Industries for replacement or proper disposal instructions.
