Medline Anesthesia Procedural Kits Recalled for Potential Sterility Failure

Medline Industries recalls 1,130 anesthesia procedural kits over concerns that the sterile ultrasound gel component may not meet sterility specifications. The kits were distributed worldwide including the US from April 2020 to April 2023.

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 an FDA Class II device recall involving sterile procedural kits with potential sterility failure. While no hospitalizations or injuries have been reported, sterile components failing to meet sterility specifications in medical devices pose a significant risk of harm to patients. The hazard is theoretical but substantial, fitting the rubric criterion for Score 3: High (risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported).
