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.
What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. 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.
