Medline Medical Procedure Kits Recalled for High Endotoxin Levels
Medline is recalling certain medical procedure kits containing neuro sponges because they may have higher-than-expected endotoxin levels, indicating out-of-specification product in the market.
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 a Class II medical device recall involving a sterile surgical product (neuro sponges used in neurological procedures) with a high-risk hazard (endotoxin contamination). Although no adverse events have been reported, endotoxin on sterile surgical products poses a direct risk of serious adverse health consequences including infection and inflammation during invasive procedures.
