Medline Convenience Kits recalled due to sterilization calibration issue
Medline is recalling two models of Convenience Kits because calibration issues with sterilization and packaging equipment may have compromised the sterility assurance level of the devices.
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 medical devices with potential compromise to sterility assurance level, a quality control failure with risk of serious harm. The source does not report any illnesses or injuries, so the score is at most 3 per the rubric; however, the nature of the defect—compromised sterility in surgical kits—and the Class II classification elevate this to High rather than Moderate.
Plain-English summary
Medline Industries, LP is recalling Medline Convenience Kits, Model ANCILLARY PACK-LF (Model Number DYNJ0185290G) and OPEN HEART ANESTHESIA ICC-A (Model Number DYNJ905567A), with 599 units distributed nationwide and worldwide.
Medline identified calibration issues with the equipment used to sterilize and package these devices. Although all products were exposed to validated sterilization and packaging cycles, the calibration problems have the potential to impact the sterility assurance level of the recalled products, meaning the devices may not meet required sterility standards.
Consumers and healthcare facilities using these products should contact Medline for instructions on returns or replacements. The specific lot numbers affected are listed in the recall notice, and the FDA classification for this recall is Class II.
