Medline Industries Recalls Medical Kits Containing Tego Connectors Due to Seal Defects

What Happened

Medline Industries, LP has initiated a voluntary recall of specific medical kits containing Tego Connectors. The recall was prompted by reports that affected lots may exhibit defects in the silicone seal, including seal doming and tearing. These defects can result in an occluded fluid path, making it impossible for healthcare providers to inject or withdraw blood products with a syringe.

Which Products Are Affected

The recall affects 1,212 units distributed nationwide across the United States. The following products and lot numbers are included:

• Medline APHERESIS SUBQPORT ACCESS KIT (SKU DYNDA2705)

Medline Industries notified affected customers via a formal letter initiated on January 8, 2026. Healthcare facilities and distributors should immediately check their inventory for the SKU and lot numbers listed above. If affected products are found, users should follow the instructions provided in the firm’s notification letter regarding the return or disposal of the kits.

Why This Matters

Damaged or defective seals on these connectors can lead to significant clinical complications, including delays in therapy, fluid leakage, or the interruption of treatment. More critically, the defect poses a risk of exposure to biological contaminants or the infusion of air into a patient’s body.
