What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class I recall, which is issued for products where serious adverse health consequences are reasonably probable. Although no illnesses have been reported, non-sterile medical irrigation solutions used in patient care settings pose a significant infection risk.
Plain-English summary
Medline Industries, LP is recalling multiple models of suction catheter kits and trays manufactured with specific lots of Nurse Assist irrigation solutions (0.9% Sodium Chloride Irrigation USP and Sterile Water for Irrigation USP) and Nurse Assist Saline Flush Syringes. The affected products are distributed nationwide in the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada, UAE, and Panama. A total of 1,012,700 units are involved in this recall.
The recall was initiated after Nurse Assist determined that certain lots of the irrigation solutions and syringe components may lack sterility. Non-sterile solutions could become contaminated and potentially cause infection in patients receiving these products.
Consumers and healthcare providers who have received these kits should stop using them immediately and contact Medline Industries for return or replacement instructions. Healthcare facilities should check their inventory against the provided lot numbers and product reference codes to identify and quarantine affected units.
