Plain-English summary
Medline Industries, Inc. is recalling 144 sterile PICC trays (Item number DYNJ49177C) due to a packaging error. The affected lots are 16HB4700, 16UB5076, and 17MB6837. The product was distributed in California and New Mexico.
The recall was initiated because multiple surgical packs were assembled with a non-sterile CHG disk labeled as "BIOPATCH" attached to the outside of the sterile pack. This error may pose a potential risk of infection. The kits have been in distribution since March 2016.
According to the source, many of these kits have been used with no reported infections or adverse patient events. The BIOPATCH component is impregnated with CHG, a well-known antiseptic agent with broad-spectrum anti-microbial and antifungal activity. The agency classifies this as a Class II recall.
