Medline surgical drapes recalled for potential sterilization issues
What this means
Medline Industries recalled multiple surgical drape products due to calibration problems with sterilization equipment. While the drapes went through sterilization and packaging, equipment calibration issues may have compromised their sterility. No injuries have been reported.
- Check if your facility uses any Medline surgical drapes with model numbers starting with DYNJP or MED
- Review lot numbers against the FDA recall notice to identify affected products
- Contact Medline or your medical supply distributor for guidance on affected inventory
- Do not use recalled drapes until you confirm they are not on the affected lot list
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.
