Medline Surgical Kits with Codman Disposable Perforator recalled
Medline surgical kits containing Codman Disposable Perforators are being recalled because certain lots have inadequate welds that may cause the perforator to break or separate during use.
What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The FDA classified this as Class I, which carries a mandatory minimum severity of 4 per the rubric. A device defect that could cause failure during neurosurgery—breakage or separation of a perforator—poses significant risk of serious injury.
