Medline recalls Centurion Hemostat kits with weak seals that could breach sterility. Check product codes and lot numbers listed to see if your kit is affected.
Product may have a weak seal which may result in a breach of sterility of the contents if the seal fails. The weak seal may not be detectable by all users.
Medline is recalling several Centurion Hemostat kits due to a weak seal that might cause the contents to become non-sterile. This could lead to infections if the kit is used without a properly sealed product.
The kits may have a weak seal that doesn't always show up to users. If the seal breaks, the contents could become non-sterile, increasing infection risk during medical procedures.
Medical professionals and surgical staff who use these hemostat kits are most at risk. Patients using the kits could face infection if the seal fails.
Check for product codes like 65340, 66145, or 66170 on the kit. Lot numbers from 2023031090 to 2023103090 indicate affected items. The kits are labeled as sterile curved Kelly or mosquito hemostats.
Look for product codes (e.g., 65340, 66145) and lot numbers listed in the recall notice to confirm if your kit is affected.
