FDA Recalls Medline Procedural Kits Due to Potential Sterility Failure

Medline Industries is recalling 22 procedural kits because the included ultrasound gel may not be sterile as labeled. The kits were distributed worldwide.

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 involving a medical device with potential sterility failure. No illnesses or injuries have been reported, and the hazard is theoretical rather than confirmed. The risk is limited to potential infection if non-sterile gel is used in medical procedures.
