Medline Heparin Syringes Recalled for Exceeding FDA Approved Scope

Medline non-sterile syringes (Model 91851) are being recalled because their piston sizes and configurations exceed what the FDA approved. Approximately 7,000 units distributed in six states are affected.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: This is a Class II FDA recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The issue is regulatory non-compliance—the devices fall outside the FDA's 510(k) clearance scope—rather than a documented manufacturing defect or reported harm.

Plain-English summary

Medline SYR 10ML L/L RED HEPARIN syringes (Model 91851) manufactured by Jiangsu Shenli Medical Production Co., Ltd., are being recalled. These non-sterile syringes without needles were designed for single use. Approximately 7,000 units with lot code 63722100003 are affected.

The syringes are being recalled because their piston sizes and configurations fall outside the range of devices approved by the FDA through the manufacturer's 510(k) clearance. This means the specific models distributed were not included in the FDA's testing and approval review.

The affected syringes were distributed nationwide to healthcare customers in California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Tennessee, and Virginia. Healthcare facilities and consumers who have received these syringes should discontinue use and contact the manufacturer or their healthcare provider for guidance on replacement options and proper handling.
