Medline recalls 75+ convenience kits for potential sterility issues due to calibration problems in sterilization cycles. Products may not meet sterility standards, but no injuries reported. Consumers should check model numbers and lot numbers listed.
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.
Medline is recalling 75 different surgical convenience kits because calibration issues in their sterilization process could lead to products not being sterile. This means the kits might not meet safety standards, but no injuries have been reported yet. Affected products include various laparoscopic and urology kits with specific model numbers and lot numbers.

Healthcare professionals using Medline's surgical convenience kits are most at risk. Patients using these kits during procedures could be exposed to non-sterile items if the kits were used without proper sterilization.
