Medline recalls specific safety kits containing SafeAir Smoke Evacuation Pencils that may activate without manual input when plugged in or remain active after button release. Affected kits include CENTRAL LINE PACK REF DYNJ00281P and FREE FLAP PACK REF DYNJ68213C.
Medline Industries, LP is issuing a recall for specific item(s) and lot(s) of Medline Kits containing SafeAir Smoke Evacuation Pencils. Stryker Instruments has expanded the scope of their recall of SafeAir Smoke Evacuation Pencils previously initiated in October 2024, adding an additional 47 lots to the scope of the recall. The initial recall was due to the potential for product to activate without manual input when plugged into a power source or remain active after buttons are released.
Medline is recalling two specific convenience kits that contain SafeAir Smoke Evacuation Pencils. These pencils may activate without manual input when plugged into a power source or stay active after buttons are released, creating a risk of unintended operation.
The SafeAir Smoke Evacuation Pencils in the kits may activate automatically when plugged in or stay active after being pressed, potentially causing unintended operation without manual input. This could lead to improper medical device function during emergencies.
Healthcare workers using these kits for medical purposes are most at risk. The recall affects specific Medline convenience kits sold with certain lot numbers and reference codes.
Check for kits labeled 'CENTRAL LINE PACK, REF DYNJ00281P' or 'FREE FLAP PACK, REF DYNJ68213C'. Affected items have specific lot numbers: 23GMD333, 23HMC426 for the first kit and 23IMI021, 23KMJ671 for the second.
Look for the kit labels and reference codes listed in the recall notice to confirm if your item is affected.
