Flexible Laryngeal Mask Airway Packs Lack Required Expiration Date Labels

Medline Industries is recalling 9,945 DYND3000xxP Series laryngeal mask airway packs because the case and packet labels are missing expiration dates. Without this information, users cannot determine product validity.

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 labeling defect on a high-risk sterile medical device. Missing expiration dates on laryngeal mask airways create a risk-of-harm scenario through potential use of expired equipment without means of detection. No illnesses or injuries are currently reported, consistent with the High severity criterion.

Plain-English summary

Medline Industries is recalling 9,945 units of DYND3000xxP Series Flexible Laryngeal Mask Airway Packs due to a labeling defect. The case and packet labels do not display expiration dates, preventing users from determining whether the devices remain sterile and safe for clinical use.

Laryngeal mask airways are medical devices used in airway management. These devices must maintain sterility to ensure patient safety. While the lubricating jelly supplied with the product carries an expiration date on its label, the absence of expiration information on the mask packaging creates uncertainty about product shelf life and sterility assurance.

The affected product was distributed nationwide in the United States and to Bermuda. All lots of the DYND3000xxP series since the product's launch are included in this recall. Healthcare facilities and medical practitioners using these devices should check their inventory and contact Medline Industries for guidance on affected units.
