• POWERGLIDE DRESSING CHANGE KIT

  • Kit SKU: DYNDH1576
  • UDI/DI: 10193489437041

Healthcare providers and distributors should immediately check their inventory for the SKU and lot numbers listed above. Affected products should be quarantined and handled according to the instructions provided in the firm’s notification. For further inquiries, customers should contact Medline Industries, LP directly.

Why This Matters

Open seals on sterile medical components like swabsticks can lead to environmental contamination. Using non-sterile applicators during medical procedures increases the risk of patient infection and related health complications.
