Medline recalls specific blood culture kits due to expired Bact: risk of using expired components if not checked. Affected kits have lot number 23KBH642.
Medline Industries, LP is issuing a recall for specific item(s) and lot(s) of Various Adult Blood and Blood Culture Kits. This recall is due to kits built using a Bactec component lot and expiration date that were not reflected on the kit insert. There is a risk of using an expired component if the user does not check the Bactec inside the kit for its expiration date.
Medline is recalling certain blood culture kits that may contain expired Bactec components. If users don't check the expiration date on the Bactec inside the kit, they risk using an expired component.
The kits may include expired Bactec components because the expiration date wasn't properly noted on the kit insert. If users don't check the expiration date on the Bactec inside the kit, they could use an expired component.
Healthcare professionals and lab users who have the specific blood culture kits with lot number 23KBH642 are affected. Those who use the kits without checking the Bactec expiration date are at higher risk.
Check for lot number 23KBH642 on the kit's case or unit. The kits have reorder number DYNDH1626B and UDI/DI numbers 40195327323333 (case) or 10195327323332 (unit).
Inspect the Bactec component inside the kit for its expiration date to ensure it's valid.
