Medline surgical convenience kits recalled for potential sterilization defect
Check Medline surgical kits for sterilization issues
Medline identified calibration problems in equipment used to sterilize and package over 70 different surgical kits used in head, neck, ENT, and other procedures. Although the kits went through sterilization cycles, the equipment calibration issues may have affected their sterility assurance level, meaning they may not be sterile.
- Check if you have any Medline surgical convenience kits on hand by looking for model numbers starting with CDS, DYKE, or DYNJ
- Do not use recalled kits; contact your Medline representative or the FDA with your lot numbers if you have received affected products
- Review the full FDA recall notice for complete model and lot number details
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.
