Plain-English summary
Medline Industries, LP is recalling multiple models of medical convenience kits including PICC line trays, code cart central line kits, vein procedure kits, and NICU central line trays. These kits are used in healthcare settings for peripheral insertion, central venous access, and other medical procedures.
The recall was initiated after 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 (SAL) of the affected products. A total of 5,562 units have been distributed nationwide in the United States.
Medline has classified this as a Class II recall. Healthcare facilities and practitioners who have received these kits should contact Medline to determine which lot numbers they have in stock and receive instructions on handling or return of affected products. Patients or caregivers should not attempt to use or discard recalled kits without healthcare provider guidance.
