Medline Convenience Kits recalled due to sterilization equipment calibration issues

Medline Industries is recalling four Convenience Kit models (892 units) nationwide because sterilization and packaging equipment calibration issues may have compromised the sterility assurance level of the devices.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Devices): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall involving sterile medical devices used in surgical procedures (chest tube insertion, hernia repair). The potential compromise of sterility assurance level on surgical kits presents a significant risk of infection and harm, meeting the Class II with significant injury/harm-risk threshold for a Severe rating.
