Medline C-Section surgical kits recalled for potential sterilization failure
Stop using recalled Medline C-section kits
Medline Industries recalled multiple models of C-section surgical convenience kits due to calibration problems with sterilization equipment. While the kits went through sterilization cycles, equipment calibration issues may have compromised their sterility. No injuries have been reported.
- Check if you have any affected Medline C-section kits by matching the model and lot numbers to the recall list
- Do not use recalled kits for surgical procedures
- Contact your Medline representative or the FDA for instructions on returning or replacing affected products
- Verify replacement kits are from non-affected lots before use
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.
