Medline Medical Procedure Kits Recalled for High Endotoxin Levels

Medline Industries is recalling medical procedure kits containing Neuro Sponges because of higher-than-expected endotoxin levels that may render the product 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 recall involving potential endotoxin contamination on medical devices used in high-risk procedures (endoscopy, ENT, skull base surgery). Although no adverse events are reported in the source text, the risk of harm from elevated endotoxin levels on devices used in sensitive anatomical areas meets the High threshold.

Plain-English summary

Medline Industries, LP is recalling Medline medical procedure kits containing Medline Neuro Sponges. The affected kits include ENDOSCOPY-LF, ENDOSCOPY PACK, ENT PK 1008847, ENDO SINUS PACK, ENT, SEPTO/ENDO, and ENDOSCOPIC SKULL BASE kits with various lot numbers. The kits have been distributed worldwide.

During an internal review, Medline identified higher-than-expected endotoxin levels on a representative Medline neuro sponge product. This indicates that in-market product may be out-of-specification for endotoxin. Endotoxin is a bacterial substance that can trigger adverse immune responses if present at elevated levels on devices intended for use in sensitive anatomical areas.

Patients who have received these devices or healthcare facilities that have used these kits should contact Medline Industries, LP with questions. Healthcare providers and facilities are advised to review their inventory of affected kits and consult the recall notice for specific lot numbers and product codes to identify potentially affected units.
