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.

Plain-English summary

Medline Industries, LP is recalling MEDLINE PREP TRAY surgical convenience kits (Reorder Number DYNDL1643A, Lot #22HMH244) distributed nationwide. The recall affects 1376 units.

The kits contain a perforated bag that does not allow the outside of the kit wrapping to maintain sterility. Only the contents inside the kit wrapping are guaranteed to be sterile, while the outer wrapping is not sterile.

This defect could allow bacterial contamination of the outer wrapping, which may compromise the integrity of the sterile contents if the outer wrapping is breached. Consumers who have purchased these kits should discontinue use and contact their healthcare provider or Medline for replacement or disposal instructions.
