Medline recalls a surgical kit model DYNJ42667A with an x-ray undetectable sponge that could be missed during imaging. Affected kits have specific lot numbers expiring 11/30/2024.
The cylindrical sponge component is not x-ray detectable.
Medline is recalling a surgical kit used in procedures like cardiac and abdominal surgeries because its sponge component isn't visible on x-rays. This could lead to the sponge being missed during imaging, potentially causing complications if it's left inside the body.
The sponge in this surgical kit does not show up on x-rays, which means it might be left inside a patient after surgery. If the sponge is not seen during imaging, it could cause complications like infection or damage to internal organs.

Check for the model number DYNJ42667A on the kit. The affected lots are 20GBA365, 20HBM367, or 20IBC934, all expiring November 30, 2024.
