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: This is an FDA Class II recall of sterile surgical instruments with a manufacturing defect that could compromise sterility. No reported illnesses or injuries have been documented, and the hazard is a potential risk without evidence of actual patient harm.
Plain-English summary
Medline Industries, LP is recalling Centurion and Medline brand manual surgical kits, including suture removal trays, suture removal sets, and skin staple removers. Approximately 23,290 units were affected across multiple product codes and documented lot numbers.
The recalled kits may have weak seals that could result in a breach of product sterility if the seal fails. The weak seal defect may not be detectable by all users, meaning sterile instruments could be compromised without visible evidence of the defect.
The products were distributed worldwide, including throughout the United States, Panama, and Canada. Details on specific product codes, lot numbers, and UDI codes are available from the FDA and Medline Industries.
