Medline surgical convenience kits recalled over sterilization equipment calibration issues
What this means
Medline has recalled multiple surgical convenience kits used in gynecological, urological, and other surgical procedures due to calibration problems with sterilization equipment. Although the kits went through sterilization cycles, the equipment calibration issues may have affected their sterility assurance level, potentially compromising the sterility of the devices.

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.
