Medline Neuro Sponges in Spine Procedure Kits Recalled for Out-of-Specification Endotoxin

Medline is recalling Spine Pack-LF medical procedure kits containing Neuro Sponges due to higher-than-expected endotoxin levels detected during an internal review. The affected kits were distributed worldwide.

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 recall involving a sterile medical device with potential endotoxin contamination, which poses a risk of serious adverse health consequences (infection or sepsis) in surgical/procedural settings. The source text does not report illnesses or injuries, but the hazard is not merely theoretical given the contamination finding and the high-risk nature of implantable/invasive medical devices.
