Medline recalls surgical convenience kits where the perforated bag doesn't keep outside wrapping sterile. Affected kits have specific labels and reorder numbers. Stop using to prevent infection risks.
The recall is due to the perforated bag not allowing for outside of the kit wrapping to be sterile, therefore, only the contents inside the kits wrapping are sterile.
Medline is recalling surgical convenience kits because the perforated bag doesn: t keep the outside wrapping sterile. This means only the contents inside the kit are sterile, increasing infection risk during procedures.
The perforated bag allows the outside wrapping to become non-sterile. This means only the contents inside the kit's wrapping are sterile, so if the bag is handled improperly, infections can occur during surgery.
Surgical staff and hospitals using Medline's surgical convenience kits with the specific label and reorder number BM17BAD are most at risk. Patients could face infection if the kit isn't used properly.
Check for kits labeled 'MEDLINE PERF. ASSOC. CUT DOWN TRAY' with reorder number BM17BAD or GTIN 10888277589490. Lot numbers starting with 22DBN972 are also affected.
Look for the label 'MEDLINE PERF. ASSOC. CUT DOWN TRAY' with reorder number BM17BAD or GTIN 10888277589490.
