Medline recalls probe cover kits containing sterile ultrasound gel that may have inadequate barriers at seams, risking contamination during procedures. Affected kits were distributed from December 2017 to May 2023.
Probe covers for use during diagnostic ultrasound procedures may have an inadequate barrier at the seams.
Medline is recalling probe cover kits for ultrasound procedures that may have inadequate barriers at seams. This could lead to contamination during medical procedures if the covers are used improperly. The affected kits were distributed between December 2017 and May 2023.
The probe covers may have an inadequate barrier at the seams, which could allow contaminants to enter the ultrasound gel during procedures. This might lead to contamination of the gel and potential infection risks for patients or healthcare workers.
Healthcare professionals who use these probe cover kits for ultrasound procedures are most at risk. Patients using these kits during diagnostic procedures may also be affected if the covers fail to protect against contamination.
Check for Medline probe cover kits labeled with model numbers ECVC1320 through ECVC6970. These kits were distributed between December 2017 and May 2023.
Look for model numbers ECVC1320 through ECVC6970 on the probe cover kits.
The recall indicates the kits may have inadequate barriers at seams, so they should not be used until replaced with confirmed safe models.
Check the model number on the kit; affected models range from ECVC1320 to ECVC6970, distributed between December 2017 and May 2023.
