Centurion Manual Uterine Dilator Surgical Kits Recalled for Weak Seal

MEDLINE INDUSTRIES is recalling Centurion Manual uterine dilator surgical kits due to weak seals that may breach sterility. The weak seal could allow contamination and 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: This is an FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The hazard is a potential breach of sterility if seals fail, representing a risk of serious infection. As the source text does not report any actual patient harm, the score follows guidance that theoretical hazards without reported illness score at most 3.

Plain-English summary

MEDLINE INDUSTRIES, LP is recalling six types of Centurion Manual surgical kits: Hegar Uterine Dilators in multiple sizes (1-2mm, 5-6mm, 9-10mm, and 11-12mm) and Hank Uterine Dilators (11 inch 7/8FR and 11 inch 13/14FR models), all sterile. A total of 270 units have been recalled.

The products may have weak seals on their sterile packaging. If the seal fails, the contents may become non-sterile or contaminated. The weak seal is not easily detectable by users, creating a risk that compromised products may be used.

The affected products were distributed worldwide including the United States, Panama, and Canada. Specific lot numbers are associated with each product code.
