Medline surgical and central line kits recalled for sterilization equipment calibration issues
What this means
Medline identified calibration problems with sterilization equipment used to process over 24 models of surgical procedure kits and central line trays. Although the kits went through sterilization cycles, the equipment calibration issues may have affected their sterility. No injuries have been reported.
- Check your inventory for Medline surgical kits and trays matching the recalled model numbers and lot numbers listed on the FDA website
- Do not use recalled kits until you verify they are safe
- Contact Medline or your facility's supply chain for instructions on returning or replacing affected products
- Report any adverse events to Medline customer service or the FDA MedWatch program
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.
