Why it was recalled

Medline Industries, LP is recalling certain kits and trays that were manufactured using specific lots of Nurse Assist (as components): 0.9% Sodium Chloride Irrigation USP, Sterile Water for Irrigation USP and Saline Flush Syringe. Nurse Assist issued a recall due to the potential lack of sterility, which could result in the solution being non sterile.

Action the firm took

MEDLINE issued an IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED NURSE ASSIST PRODUCT RECALL notice to its consignees on 11/16/2023 via USPS first class mail and email. The notice explained the problem, requested log on to their portal to identify the products and check their inventory so the product could be quarantined. Once Medline receives the completed response form, over-labels will be shipped to the consignee. Medline Industries, LP instructed customers to over-label the convenience kits with a warning label indicating to remove the sodium chloride irrigation or Sterile water and replace from a different sterile supply.
