Medline recalls IV catheter convenience kits where the needle is slow to retract or fails to retract during insertion. The affected kits (36 units, Lot 24LDA590) were distributed across six states.

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 a Class II FDA recall for a medical device with a known malfunction (needle slow/fails to retract) that poses risk of needlestick injury. Since no illnesses or injuries have been reported and this is not a Class I recall, this qualifies as a risk-of-harm product without reported injury, per the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Medline Industries, LP is recalling specific Medline convenience kits containing BD Insyte Autoguard Shielded IV Catheters (22 GA x 1.00 IN, Ref ACC010665). The affected kits contained 36 units with Lot Number 24LDA590.

The issue was identified during insertion of the catheter: the needle is slow to retract or fails to retract completely. This malfunction poses a risk during healthcare administration, as a needle that does not properly retract could cause needlestick injury.

Healthcare providers who have these kits should discontinue use immediately and contact Medline Industries for instructions on returning or replacing the affected product.
