Medline surgical procedure kits recalled for potential sterilization defect
Stop using affected Medline surgical kits
Medline Industries recalled multiple surgical convenience kits used in gynecological and other procedures because of calibration problems in the sterilization equipment. Although the kits went through standard sterilization cycles, the equipment issues may have compromised their sterility.
- Check if you have any Medline convenience kits with the listed model and lot numbers
- Do not use recalled kits; contact your healthcare facility's materials management or Medline for a return authorization
- If kits were already used, report it to your facility's quality or risk management team
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.
