Potential for the labeled sterile ultrasound gel component within packs to not meet sterility specifications.
Medline is recalling custom sterile and non-sterile procedural kits that contain Turkuaz ultrasound gel. The gel may not meet sterility standards, which could lead to infections during medical procedures. This recall affects kits distributed between April 2020 and April 2023.
The ultrasound gel in these kits may not meet sterility specifications, meaning it could be contaminated. This contamination could lead to infections during medical procedures if the gel is used improperly.
Healthcare professionals and medical facilities that use these kits for procedures like arterial line insertions, biopsies, and ultrasounds. Patients undergoing procedures with these kits are at risk of infection if the gel is not sterile.
Check the model numbers and UPCs listed in the recall notice. The kits were distributed by Medline between April 2020 and April 2023. Affected kits include specific models like ART960, ART970, ART1165, and others with corresponding UPC numbers.
Review the model numbers and UPCs listed in the recall notice to confirm if your kit is affected.
The recall states that the ultrasound gel may not meet sterility specifications, so affected kits should not be used until replaced with a confirmed safe kit.
Check the model number and UPC on your kit against the list provided in the recall notice, which includes specific models distributed between April 2020 and April 2023.
The recall does not specify a return process, so you should check with Medline directly for instructions on how to handle affected kits.
