Medline Procedural Kits Recalled for Potential Sterility Failure in Ultrasound Gel

Medline is recalling 6,733 custom procedural kits due to potential sterility failure in the Turkuaz ultrasound gel component. The gel may not meet required sterility specifications.

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: This FDA Class II recall involves potential sterility failure in a medical device component (ultrasound gel) used in procedural kits. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, non-sterile gel in medical procedures poses a direct risk of infection, meeting the criteria for a high-severity rating as a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.
