The agency’s classification

FDA (Devices): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 an FDA Class II medical device recall where the ultrasound gel component may not meet sterility specifications. Since no illnesses or injuries are reported and the hazard remains theoretical, the recall qualifies as a high-severity risk-of-harm product without documented injury.

Plain-English summary

Medline Industries is recalling approximately 97,677 procedural kits that contain Turkuaz Ultrasound Gel. The kits include multiple models used for medical procedures such as central venous catheter insertion, angiography, ablation, and other interventional procedures.

The labeled sterile ultrasound gel component within these kits has the potential to not meet sterility specifications. Non-sterile gel used in sterile procedures creates a contamination risk.

The affected kits were distributed worldwide to the United States, Canada, China, Costa Rica, India, Lebanon, Panama, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates. All lot numbers of the specified models distributed from Medline between April 1, 2020 and April 28, 2023 are included.

Healthcare providers with affected kits should verify their inventory using the listed model numbers and UPC codes. Contact Medline Industries regarding the recall.
