Medline surgical procedure kits recalled for sterilization equipment calibration issues
What this means
Medline Industries recalled multiple surgical procedure kits used in cardiac and vascular procedures due to calibration problems with sterilization equipment. Although the kits went through sterilization cycles, the equipment calibration issues may have affected their sterility, potentially exposing patients to contamination risks.
- Locate any Medline surgical kits (cardiac catheter packs, angiography packs, or procedure kits) in your facility
- Check if the lot numbers match those listed in the recall notice
- Do not use recalled kits; isolate them and contact Medline
- Contact your hospital or surgical facility's compliance or supply chain team for instructions
The agency's original wording
Medline has identified issues related to calibration of the equipment used to sterilize and package the devices. All products were exposed to the validated sterilization and packaging cycles; however, the identified calibration issues have the potential to impact the sterility assurance level (SAL) of the Recalled Products.
