Medline Centurion Surgical Retractors Recalled for Potential Sterility Breach
Medline is recalling Centurion surgical retractor kits (760 units) due to a weak seal that could compromise sterility if it fails. The weakness may not be detectable by users.
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 of a surgical medical device with potential sterility breach risk. No illnesses or injuries are reported in the source material, and the hazard is theoretical (depends on seal failure), placing this at Score 3 per the rubric criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
