Medline recalls probe cover kits for ultrasound procedures due to potential inadequate barrier at seams, which may allow contamination during use. Affected kits include specific models 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 procedures because the covers may have weak seams that don't properly seal. This could lead to contamination during medical procedures, which is why the recall is important for patient safety.
The probe covers may have seams that do not create a tight seal, potentially allowing contaminants to enter the ultrasound procedure area. This could lead to infection or other complications during medical procedures.
Healthcare professionals using Medline probe cover kits for ultrasound procedures are most at risk. Patients receiving these procedures may also be affected if the kits are used without proper sealing.
Check for model numbers ART1070A, ART1160, ART1180, ART775B, ART890A, ART995, or P42453 on the kit packaging. These kits were sold by Medline between December 2017 and May 2023.
