Medline Industries is recalling approximately 15,806 surgical device kits used in gynecology, urology, and thoracic procedures. 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: The recall involves medical devices (surgical kits) with potential sterility compromise—a high-risk hazard affecting patient safety. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported in the source text, the theoretical risk of infection from non-sterile surgical instruments used in invasive procedures constitutes a high-severity hazard.
Plain-English summary
Medline Industries, LP is recalling multiple surgical device kits distributed nationwide due to calibration issues with the equipment used to sterilize and package the devices. The recalled products include gynecology laparoscopy kits, robotic surgery kits, urology kits, and thoracic surgery kits manufactured under various model numbers.
The manufacturer identified that calibration problems with sterilization and packaging equipment may have affected the sterility assurance level (SAL) of the recalled devices. Although all products were exposed to validated sterilization and packaging cycles, the calibration discrepancies have the potential to compromise the intended sterility of the devices.
Affected healthcare facilities and hospitals that received these devices should stop using the affected lot numbers immediately. Devices should be quarantined and returned to Medline Industries. Healthcare providers should review patient records for anyone who may have received surgery using recalled devices and consult with infection control and patient safety teams regarding next steps.
