Medline Industries is recalling (Class 1 device correction) certain lots of its medical procedure kits that include recalled Medtronic Aortic Root Cannulas due to a potential safety risk that could result in serious adverse health outcomes, including stroke or death.

The cannulas, a critical component used during heart surgeries involving a cardiopulmonary bypass machine, were found to potentially contain excess material in the male luer — the connector that links to other devices, a [recall notice](https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-recalls/medical-procedure-kits-correction-medline-industries-lp-issues-correction-medline-procedure-kits?utm%5Fmedium=email&utm%5Fsource=govdelivery) says. This defect could disrupt blood flow or embolize material into the bloodstream, posing serious risks such as neurological deficits, procedural delays, or fatal complications.

The notice says that while no serious injuries or deaths have been reported to date, Medline is urging healthcare providers not to use the cannula included in the affected kits. The company is distributing correction labels to affix to the kits, alerting users to discard the Medtronic Aortic Root Cannula and instead use an equivalent product from another manufacturer.
