Medline Robotic-LF Complete Delivery System Recall Due to Sterility Concerns

Medline Industries is recalling 122 units of the Robotic-LF Complete Delivery System because the sterile packs did not complete a sterilization cycle, meaning sterility cannot be guaranteed.

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II. The hazard involves a failure in the sterilization process for a medical device, which poses a significant risk of infection or serious injury if used, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Medline Industries Inc is recalling 122 units of the Robotic-LF Complete Delivery System (REF CDS984543B, Lot 20AKA927, Expiration 2020-09-30). The recall was initiated because the sterile pack inside the system did not go through a complete sterilization cycle. As a result, the sterility of these components cannot be guaranteed.

The affected products were distributed only in California to three facilities: Torrance Memorial Medical, Hoag Memorial Hospital, and Owens/Minor VMI. No governmental, Canadian, or Mexican consignees were involved.

Healthcare providers and facilities should stop using the affected units and contact Medline Industries for instructions on return or disposal. Consumers are not directly affected as this is a professional medical device distributed to specific healthcare facilities.
