Medline recalls knee arthroscopy kits with expired NaCl irrigation bags. The expired component poses a risk of ineffective use during surgery. Affected kits have specific model and expiration dates.
The kits may contain an expired component.
Medline is recalling knee arthroscopy kits that contain an expired irrigation bag. Using these kits could lead to ineffective surgical procedures due to the expired saline solution.
The irrigation bag contains expired saline solution (NaCl 3000mL) that may not function properly during surgery. This could lead to ineffective irrigation, potentially affecting surgical outcomes. However, the hazard does not involve immediate injury risks.
Surgical teams using Medline Knee Arthroscopy Kits with the specific model REF DYNJ902838C are affected. The risk is low as the expired component may only affect the irrigation bag's effectiveness, not cause immediate harm.
Check for the model number REF DYNJ902838C on the kit. The irrigation bag has an expiration date of 08/01/2020 or lot number 19WBA897 with an expiration date of 12/31/2020.
Verify the irrigation bag's expiration date (08/01/2020) or lot number (19WBA897) on the kit.
The recall is for expired NaCl irrigation bags that may not function properly during surgery.
Check the expiration date or lot number on the irrigation bag to confirm if it's affected. No specific action is required beyond verification.
The hazard is limited to potential ineffective irrigation during surgery, not immediate injury risks.
