Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary
Medline Industries, LP is recalling 15,323 custom sterile and non-sterile procedural kits containing Turkuaz ultrasound gel. The recalled kits include 28 different models used for various surgical and procedural applications, including angiography, arthrograms, nerve blocks, craniotomy, and hip and knee replacement procedures.
The recall was issued because the sterile ultrasound gel component within some kits may not meet sterility specifications. If ultrasound gel used in sterile procedures is not actually sterile, it poses a risk of introducing bacterial or fungal contamination during invasive procedures.
The affected kits were distributed worldwide, including throughout the United States, 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.
Healthcare facilities and healthcare professionals using these kits should stop using them and contact Medline Industries for instructions on replacement or refund. No illnesses or injuries have been reported as of the recall announcement.
