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: The FDA classified this as Class II. The hazard involves potential compromise of sterility assurance in invasive medical devices (PICC lines, arthroscopy trays, percutaneous lines, NICU equipment), which pose a direct risk of serious infection if sterility is breached. No illnesses are reported, but the nature of the affected devices and the underlying hazard elevates this to Severe.
Plain-English summary
Medline Industries, LP is recalling six models of medical device convenience kits: PICC Catheter Insertion Tray (Model CVI4300), OSC Sherman Knee Arthro Basic (Model DYKM1977C), Kit ACES Insert PEG (Models DYKMBNDL130 and DYKMBNDL130A), Kit ACES Insert Percutaneous T (Model DYKMBNDL4), and NICU Line Change Tray (Model LC295). A total of 553 units have been distributed nationwide.
The recall was initiated because of calibration issues identified in the equipment used to sterilize and package these devices.
