Medline neuro surgical kits recalled for potential sterilization failure
What this means
Medline recalled multiple neurological surgical kits due to calibration problems in the sterilization equipment used to process them. Although the kits went through the standard sterilization process, calibration issues may have reduced the sterility assurance level of the products.
- Stop using any Medline neuro surgical kit affected by this recall immediately
- Check your kit's model number and lot number against the FDA recall notice
- Contact Medline or your healthcare facility for instructions on replacement or proper disposal
- If a kit was already used, inform your healthcare provider so they can monitor for potential complications
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.
