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 of sterile medical devices with a potential mechanism of harm (reduced sterility assurance), but the source text does not report any confirmed illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations. Per the rubric, Class II recalls without reported adverse events where there is a theoretical risk of harm score as High (3).
Plain-English summary
Medline Industries, LP is recalling 1,056 units of three convenience kit models: the Central Line Universal Insertion Kit (Model CVI3780), LVAD Driveline Tray (Model DM1035), and Surgical Oncology Central Venous Insertion Kit (Model DYKMBNDL43). The kits were distributed worldwide with US nationwide distribution.
Medline identified calibration issues in the equipment used to sterilize and package these devices. While all products were exposed to validated sterilization and packaging cycles, the calibration issues have the potential to compromise the sterility assurance level (SAL) of the recalled products.
Healthcare facilities and providers who received these kits should stop using the affected lot numbers and contact Medline or their authorized distributor for instructions on return or replacement. Lot numbers affected include multiple batches across all three product models.
