Surgical Convenience Kits Recalled for Weak Seals Affecting Sterility

Medline Industries recalls 7,673 surgical convenience kits due to weak Pure Pouch seals that may compromise sterility. Kits were distributed nationwide to healthcare facilities.

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 Class II recall involves potential sterility compromise in surgical kits, representing a risk-of-harm product. No illnesses or injuries have been reported to date, and the hazard is contingent on seal failure, making it a theoretical rather than confirmed risk.

Plain-English summary

Medline Industries, LP is recalling nonsterile surgical convenience kits because the Pure Pouch component has weak seals that may compromise sterility if the seal fails. The affected kits include Medline Delivery and Medline C-Section packs, distributed to surgical facilities nationwide.

The weak seals present a risk that the sterile contents could be exposed to contamination if the seal is breached during handling or storage. This could result in infection or other adverse effects if the compromised instruments are used in surgical procedures.

The recall affects 7,673 kits distributed across 23 states. Specific lot numbers and expiration dates ranging from July to August 2024 are associated with the recall.

Healthcare facilities and surgical centers in possession of these kits should immediately discontinue use and contact Medline Industries for replacement products or further guidance.
