Medline Total Knee Surgical Kit Recalled for Expired Irrigation Component
Medline Industries is recalling Total Knee convenience kits that may contain an expired saline irrigation solution component. The expired component may not maintain proper sterility for surgical use.
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: FDA Class II recall with no reported illnesses, injuries, or deaths. The hazard is precautionary in nature—an expired sterile component may compromise sterility, but no actual harm has been reported. This meets the criteria for a moderate-severity voluntary precautionary recall.
