Medline medical procedure kits recalled for out-of-specification endotoxin levels
Medline Industries is recalling medical procedure kits containing Neuro Sponges for spinal fusion due to higher-than-expected endotoxin levels that may be out-of-specification.
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 medical device recall involving an out-of-specification condition (elevated endotoxin) that could pose a risk of harm. Although no illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text, endotoxin is a known hazard that could cause adverse reactions in surgical applications, and the source does not explicitly state that the risk is theoretical only.
