Centurion Manual Surgical Kits Recalled Due to Weak Seal
Medline Industries is recalling Centurion manual surgical kits due to weak seals that may compromise sterility. Approximately 7,950 units were distributed nationwide and internationally.
The agency’s classification
FDA (Devices): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
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: This Class II recall involves no reported illnesses or injuries, but addresses a risk-of-harm scenario: compromised sterility of surgical instruments could lead to patient infection or adverse outcomes. Sterility is the essential safety attribute of surgical instruments. The defect—weak seals—directly undermines this critical function, meeting the criterion for high-severity risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

VIRTUS SPLINTER FORCEP, debridement trays, biopsy instrument packs, IR ADSON FORCEP & NEEDLE HOLDER, toenail removal kits, and general purpose instrument trays.
