Medline Industries Recalls Surgical Convenience Kits Over Sterility Concerns

What Happened

Medline Industries, LP has initiated a voluntary Class II recall for several types of Medline Convenience Kits. The recall was prompted by the identification of calibration issues with the equipment used to sterilize and package the devices. Although the products were exposed to validated sterilization cycles, the calibration errors have the potential to impact the sterility assurance level (SAL) of the kits.
