What Happened
Medline Industries, LP has initiated a voluntary Class II recall of specific medical kits containing Tego Connectors. The recall was prompted by reports that the silicone seals on these connectors may exhibit issues such as "doming" or tearing. These defects can result in an occluded fluid path, making it impossible for healthcare providers to inject or withdraw blood products using a syringe. Additionally, damaged seals may lead to fluid leakage, therapy interruptions, exposure to biological contaminants, or the infusion of air into a patient's body.
