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, Inc. is recalling 15 kits of Laparoscopy CDS (Model CDS920114F, Lot 17MB5499). The recall was initiated because a non-sterile component, specifically an Anti-fog kit (component #80532NS), was inadvertently included in the pack without being exposed to the ethylene oxide sterilization process.
The affected component, which contains a bottle of 6g Anti-Fog solution and an adhesive-backed sponge, was supposed to be placed in the sterile portion of the pack for sterilization but was not. As a result, the component was released in a non-sterile state despite being labeled as sterile.
The affected products were distributed in California and New Mexico. Consumers and healthcare facilities should stop using the affected kits and contact Medline Industries for further instructions.
