What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states that the contamination may lead to serious adverse health consequences, including death, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for significant injury or property-damage reports and high-risk pathogens.
Plain-English summary
Medline Industries, LP is recalling 447 units of two specific convenience kits: the Port Access Kit (Catalog Number DYKM1414) and the Arterial Line St Joes Syr Pack (Catalog Number DYNJ38145F). The affected lots are 24HBS933 and 24HBT600, respectively. These products were distributed nationwide in the United States.
The recall was initiated because the kits contain certain lots of sterile applicators that may be contaminated with Aspergillus penicillioides, a type of fungus. This contamination may occur under specific environmental conditions. The presence of this fungus in skin preparation products poses a risk of serious adverse health consequences, including systemic infection, sepsis, illness, and death.
Healthcare facilities and consumers who have these specific catalog numbers and lot numbers should stop using the products immediately. They should contact Medline Industries for further instructions on how to return or dispose of the affected kits.
