Medline recalls probe cover kits with sterile ultrasound gel that may have inadequate seams, risking contamination during medical procedures. All kits distributed between Dec 2017 and May 2023 are affected.
Probe covers for use during diagnostic ultrasound procedures may have an inadequate barrier at the seams.
Medline is recalling probe cover kits containing sterile ultrasound gel due to potential inadequate seams that could allow contamination during medical procedures. This affects healthcare providers using these kits for diagnostic ultrasound.
The probe covers may have seams that do not provide a sufficient barrier, potentially allowing contaminants to enter the sterile field during ultrasound procedures. This could lead to infections or other complications if the covers are not properly sealed.
Healthcare providers who use Medline probe cover kits for diagnostic ultrasound procedures are most at risk. These kits were distributed between December 2017 and May 2023.
Check for the model numbers listed in the recall notice (e.g., ART1005, ART1165, ART240A, etc.) and the distribution period from December 2017 to May 2023. All lots within expiry are affected.
Identify the model number on the kit to confirm if it is listed in the recall (e.g., ART1005, ART1165, ART240A).
Reach out to Medline directly to arrange for a replacement kit or alternative solution.
No, only specific model numbers distributed between December 2017 and May 2023 are affected. Check the model numbers listed in the recall notice.
