Medline recalls specific left heart kits sold without sterilization capabilities, risking infection due to non-sterile use in medical procedures.
Non-sterile kits intended to be sterilized prior to use were sold to accounts without sterilization capabilities.
Medline is recalling a specific left heart kit model that was sold to medical facilities without sterilization capabilities. This poses a risk of infection because the kits are intended to be sterilized before use in catheter labs and interventional radiology procedures.
The kits are designed to be sterilized before use in medical procedures. However, they were sold to facilities that lack the ability to sterilize them, increasing the risk of infection during procedures.
Medical facilities using the recalled left heart kit model #65220955 are affected. Staff handling these kits during catheter lab procedures are at risk of infection if not properly sterilized.
Check for the model number #65220955 on the kit. The kits were sold to medical facilities in San Francisco for use in catheter labs and interventional radiology procedures.
Verify the model number on the kit to confirm it is #65220955.
