Medline Surgical Convenience Kits Recalled for Weak Seal Compromise

Medline recalled 7,673 surgical convenience kits nationwide due to weak seals in the Pure Pouch component that may compromise sterility of surgical instruments. No injuries have been reported.

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 a risk-of-harm medical device (surgical kit sterility compromise) where no injuries or illnesses have been reported. The weak seal poses a potential but unrealized risk of sterility breach.
