Plain-English summary

Medline Industries, LP has issued a Class II recall of custom sterile and non-sterile procedural kits (Model DYNJ60126B, UPC 019532711883) containing Turkuaz ultrasound gel. Approximately 80 kits were distributed worldwide between April 1, 2020 and April 28, 2023, including to the United States, Canada, China, Costa Rica, India, Lebanon, Panama, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates.

The recall was issued due to the potential for the sterile ultrasound gel component to not meet sterility specifications. Gel labeled as sterile may not actually be sterile, creating a risk of contamination or infection during medical procedures where these kits are used.
