Medline Procedural Kits Recalled for Potentially Non-Sterile Gel
Medline Industries is recalling 1,218 procedural kits because the sterile ultrasound gel component may not meet sterility specifications, potentially posing an infection risk in invasive procedures.
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 device recall involving potential loss of sterility in a medical component used in invasive procedures. No illnesses or injuries have been reported. Per the severity rubric, recalls with theoretical hazards and no reported injuries are capped at Score 3 (High). The use case—invasive vascular procedures—elevates this above a moderate precautionary recall.
