Medline recalls 20 convenience kits with SafeAir Smoke Evacuation Pencils that may activate without manual input when plugged in or remain active after button release. Affected kits have specific model numbers and lot numbers.
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 20 different convenience kits that include SafeAir Smoke Evacuation Pencils. These pencils might 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 these kits can activate automatically when plugged into a power source or remain active after being released from a button press. This unintended activation could lead to improper smoke evacuation in medical environments.
Healthcare professionals and medical facilities using these kits are most at risk. The affected products are specific convenience kits used in medical settings.
Check for kits labeled with model numbers like CDS984259O, CDS984259P, or DYNJ0160700F among others. Each kit has specific lot numbers and UDI/DI codes listed in the recall notice.
Look for model numbers and lot numbers on the kit packaging to confirm if it's affected.
