Medline Industries is recalling more than 6.2 million Medline and Centurion brand kits and trays because they contain saline or sterile water components that may not be sterile. The solutions were manufactured by Nurse Assist, which issued a recall for specific lots of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Irrigation and Sterile Water for Irrigation due to sterility concerns. These kits are used in a wide variety of medical settings for procedures like tracheostomy care, catheterization, and wound irrigation. Consumers and healthcare providers should contact their healthcare provider or Medline for guidance on returning these devices.
A lack of sterility in medical solutions can introduce harmful bacteria or other microorganisms directly into a patient’s body during medical procedures. This creates a critical risk of serious infection, especially when used in invasive procedures such as inserting catheters or cleaning surgical sites. No specific injuries have been reported in this notice.
