Action Taken
Recall letters dated 12/27/2022 were issued via email on 12/27/2022 or via U.S. mail for customers who haver not previously used the Medline Recall Portal. The customer was informed of the issue and told that any affected kits found are to be stickered with labels indicating to remove and replace the affected component from a different sterile supply and return the kit to the customer inventory. The remaining components are acceptable for use. If the customer has the affected kits, they are to indicate the quantity on the response and stickers will be sent to them for placement on the kits. The customer is requested to immediately check their stock for the affected item and lot numbers listed on the recall portal and quarantine the product. The customer is to use the website link in the letter to complete the response form. (The website link contains the specific item and lot numbers that are being recalled.) The quantity of affected product in inventory is to be reported on the response form. Upon receipt of the response form, the customer will receive over-labels via FedEx overnight to affix to the affected kits. If the customer is a distributor or the customer has resold or transferred the product to another company or individual, they are to notify their customer of the recall communication. These downstream customers are to return any affected product to the distributor (or to whoever resold/transferred the product) for collection and return to Medline.
