Medline neurosurgery procedure kits recalled for cracked adhesive tubing
What this means
Medline distributed six types of neurosurgery procedure convenience kits containing MASTISOL liquid adhesive. The tubing in the adhesive vials can crack when opened, which may compromise the sterility or usability of the kit. No injuries have been reported.
- Check if you have any of the six affected kit types (DEPAUL BASIC NEURO-LF, NEURO MINOR PACK, NEURO SHUNT PACK, NEURO PACK, NEURO BASIC, or PK NEURO SHUNT BUMC).
- Verify the lot number on your kit against the recalled batches listed in the recall notice.
- Stop using any matching kits and contact Medline or your healthcare facility's supply chain for instructions on return or replacement.
- Report any use of a cracked or compromised kit to your facility's quality or safety officer.
