By Medline Newsroom Staff | December 20, 2023
Northfield, Ill., Dec. 20, 2023 – Medline Industries, LP announced a voluntary nationwide recall on October 10, 2023, of several lots and SKUs of Tracheostomy Care and Cleaning Trays. The Tracheostomy Care and Cleaning Trays include a tracheostomy brush as a component that may have sharp edges at the tip that can puncture tubing during use and/or cause user injury during handling. In addition, complaints describe bristles of the tracheostomy brush detaching before and potentially during use. If bristles reach a patient’s airway, they may cause unexplained increases in sputum or pulmonary secretions, signs of infection, or difficulty breathing. If a patient exposed to the brush experiences any of these signs or symptoms, they should seek medical attention promptly. To date, Medline Industries, LP has received one adverse event associated with this product.
Tracheostomy Care Trays are medical devices intended to be used for the care and maintenance of a stoma site. These trays may be used in various healthcare environments including acute care settings, such as hospitals, and long-term care settings such as skilled nursing facilities. The tracheostomy brush component is used to clean tracheostomy tubing and cannulas. Tracheostomy cannulas should always be rinsed following brush cleaning. This component is packaged within Tracheostomy Care and Cleaning Trays, which contain multiple components packaged together.
The voluntary recall includes the following item numbers and lot numbers, distributed nationwide from March 21, 2022, through October 10, 2023. Affected product(s) can be identified by the lot number indicated on the medical device packaging.
