Centurion Surgical Hook Kits Recalled Due to Weak Seal
Medline Industries is recalling 1,520 Centurion surgical hook kits worldwide due to weak seals that may compromise sterility. The seal defect 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 sterile medical devices with potential for loss of sterility, representing a significant risk of harm. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, but compromised sterility in surgical instruments poses serious infection risk.
Plain-English summary
Medline Industries, LP is recalling 1,520 Centurion surgical hook kits marketed in four product variants: Sterile Skin Hook Fine (Product Code 66660), Sterile Small 2 Prong Skin Hook (Product Code 67105), Sterile NEWS Trach Hook (Product Code 67810), and Sterile Lillie Ear Hook Delicate 7" (Product Code I68655). These sterile surgical instruments have been distributed worldwide, including throughout the United States and to Panama and Canada.
The recalled kits contain a weak seal that may result in a breach of sterility. The seal weakness may not be detectable by users before the product is used, creating a risk that non-sterile instruments could be unknowingly deployed in surgical procedures.
Healthcare facilities and healthcare providers who have received these products should stop using them immediately and contact the manufacturer for guidance on replacement or return. Patients who may have undergone procedures using these instruments should consult with their healthcare provider.
