Approximately 4.9 million units of Medline Sterile Ultrasound Gel (0.70 FL oz. packets) are being recalled because the sterility of the gel cannot be guaranteed. Using a non-sterile product in medical procedures that require sterility can lead to serious infections and health complications for patients. These products were distributed to Illinois and Hong Kong between June 2023 and early 2024.
The manufacturer cannot ensure that the gel is free from microbial contamination, which poses a significant risk of infection if used during sterile medical procedures or on broken skin.
