Medline sterile surgical kits and trays recalled for potential sterilization issues
What this means
Medline Industries has recalled multiple sterile surgical kits and procedure trays due to calibration problems in the sterilization equipment used to manufacture them. Although the products went through normal sterilization cycles, the equipment calibration issues may have reduced the sterility assurance level of these kits. No injuries have been reported.

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.
