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 is an FDA Class II recall for a potential sterility defect in medical device components used for insertion procedures. No illnesses or injuries have been reported.

Plain-English summary

Medline Industries, LP is recalling 13,881 custom sterile and non-sterile procedural kits containing Turkuaz Ultrasound Gel. The recalled kits include eight model types used in various medical insertion procedures: CVC Infant Insertion Pack (CVI4770A), Insertion Bundle (DT21275), Midline Dressing Change Kit (EBSI1464), Midline Insertion Kit (DT20155), PICC Line Dressing Tray (DT22045), Universal Dressing & PPE Kit (DT22065), and VA Maintenance Pack (EBSI1382).

The kits are being recalled because the labeled sterile ultrasound gel component may not meet sterility specifications. Using these kits could potentially result in non-sterile conditions during medical insertion procedures.

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