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: FDA Class II device distributed in sizes and configurations outside the company's approved 510(k) scope. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the regulatory non-compliance represents a potential risk of harm from non-validated device configurations.
Plain-English summary
Medline, through its manufacturer Jiangsu Shenli Medical Production Co., Ltd., has recalled SYR 20ML L/L non-sterile piston syringes without needles (Model 83088). The recall involves approximately 13.6 million units that were distributed nationwide.
The syringes were manufactured in sizes and configurations outside the range covered by the company's FDA 510(k) clearance. This regulatory non-compliance means the devices were produced and distributed without proper FDA approval for those specific configurations.
The affected products were distributed to CA, FL, GA, IL, TN, and VA, with shipments arriving through major ports including Chicago, Los Angeles, Long Beach, Miami, Savannah, Nashville, and Norfolk.
Consumers and healthcare providers who have these syringes should contact Medline or the FDA for guidance on return or proper disposal.
