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: The FDA has classified this as a Class II medical device recall involving potential sterility failure in a component used for invasive dialysis procedures.

Plain-English summary
Medline Industries, LP is recalling Custom Sterile and Non-Sterile Procedural Kits containing Turkuaz Ultrasound Gel. The recalled kits are labeled as DIALYSIS ACCESSORY PACK W/O CATHETER (Model MNS10750A, UPC 10653160356073) and STD INSERTION/DIALYSIS INSERTION TRAY (Model CVI3845, UPC 10653160270072).
