Surgical convenience kits labeled as recalled by MEDLINE INDUSTRIES, LP

Timeline

Companies usually start a recall weeks before the FDA classifies and publishes it; the gap above is that lag.

Reason for recall

The recall is due to the perforated bag not allowing for outside of the kit wrapping to be sterile, therefore, only the contents inside the kits wrapping are sterile.

A sterility recall means a product that must be sterile, such as an injection or eye drop, may be contaminated. Using a non-sterile product can cause serious infection.
