Medline is recalling CVC barrier kits (Lot 22ABT774) due to breather pouches with seal openings that could compromise sterility of the surgical kit contents.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is a Class II FDA medical device recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. However, the seal breach on sterile surgical equipment creates a risk-of-harm scenario where product sterility could be compromised before clinical use, potentially leading to infection or contamination during medical procedures.
