Medline Industries, LP is recalling approximately 626,305 Medical Specimen and Urine Collection Kits, including Clean Catch, Lab, and Urinalysis kits. The specimen containers included in these kits are labeled as sterile but have been identified as being non-sterile. Using these containers can lead to inaccurate test results, which may result in patients receiving unnecessary medical treatment or staying in the hospital longer than needed. No injuries have been reported in connection with this issue.
A non-sterile specimen container can contaminate medical samples before they are tested. This contamination may lead to false diagnostic results, potentially causing doctors to provide treatment for conditions a patient does not have or extending hospital stays while trying to determine the correct diagnosis.
