Medline recalls probe cover kits containing sterile ultrasound gel with potential inadequate seam barriers that could allow contamination during diagnostic ultrasound procedures. Includes 20+ model numbers 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 used with ultrasound devices because they may have weak seams that could let contaminants get through during procedures. This affects specific model numbers sold between December 2017 and May 2023.
The probe covers may have inadequate barriers at the seams, which could allow contaminants to enter the ultrasound gel during procedures. This might lead to potential contamination of the gel and the patient or healthcare worker.
Healthcare professionals using these kits for diagnostic ultrasound procedures are most at risk. Patients using these kits during procedures could be exposed to contamination if the covers fail.
Check for model numbers listed in the recall (e.g., DYNJ67770A, DYNJ68019, etc.) on the kit packaging. These kits were distributed by Medline between December 2017 and May 2023.
Look for the model number on the kit packaging to confirm if it's in the recall list.
Reach out to Medline directly for assistance with the recall or to get replacement kits.
The recall indicates potential inadequate seam barriers, but the kits are not explicitly unsafe for use. Users should check the model number and contact Medline for guidance.
Check the model number on the packaging against the list provided in the recall (e.g., DYNJ67770A, DYNJ68019, etc.).
The recall does not specify a stop-use instruction, so users should check the model number and contact Medline for further instructions.
