Loose Luer Lock Risk Prompts Medline Convenience Kits Recall 2026

Health Canada has published a Type II health product recall covering specific Medline convenience kits that contain cannula components with female Luer Lock connectors. The recall, listed under identification number RA-82712, was dated September 21, 2026 and posted on the federal recalls site on October 1, 2026. The notice is aimed at healthcare audiences, since the kits are used in general hospital and personal use settings.

Medline Industries, LP, based in Northfield, Illinois, found that the connectors on these components do not meet the dimensional requirements of ISO 80369-7, the international standard that governs small-bore connectors used in liquid and gas applications in healthcare. Connectors that fall outside those dimensions can fit poorly with the devices they are meant to join.

Regulatory Response

Health Canada classified the action as a Type II recall. The notice describes the issue as a medical device performance problem. It does not report any injuries or incidents, and none are claimed here.

The notice is published by Health Canada and lists Medline Industries, LP as the company involved. The what-to-do guidance on the page is brief: anyone needing more information should contact the manufacturer.

Products Affected by This Recall

The recall covers four listings of Medline convenience kits, each identified by a model or catalogue number. The notice lists them as follows:

• EM Pop Pack – catalogue number DYNJ52921B, lot number 25JBB049
• Pontage-LF – catalogue number DYNJ58124D, more than 10 lot numbers (contact the manufacturer)
• Pontage-LF – catalogue number DYNJ58124B, more than 10 lot numbers (contact the manufacturer)
• Pontage-LF – catalogue number DYNJ58124C, more than 10 lot numbers (contact the manufacturer)

Because the three Pontage-LF listings cover more than ten lot numbers each, the full list is not printed in the Health Canada notice. Facilities that hold these kits will need to get the complete lot information directly from Medline.

What Triggered the Recall

The root of the problem is dimensional. Medline determined that the female Luer Lock connectors on the cannula components in these kits do not conform to ISO 80369-7. Luer Lock connectors rely on precise dimensions so that a threaded fitting can lock securely onto a syringe, tubing or another device.

When those dimensions are off, the connection may become loose or unstable, or it may detach. According to the notice, the nonconforming dimensions can also, in certain cases, contribute to leaking or breaking during use. In a clinical setting, a connection that fails mid-procedure can interrupt treatment or compromise the intended delivery of fluids or medication, though the notice does not describe any specific patient outcome.

Who Should Be Concerned

The audience listed for this recall is healthcare. That means hospitals, clinics and other facilities that stock Medline convenience kits are the primary group affected, along with the staff who open and use those kits. The page classifies the products under general hospital and personal use medical devices.

Anyone who has the listed kit names, catalogue numbers and lot numbers on hand should check their inventory against the table above and the manufacturer’s full lot list.

Steps Consumers Should Take

Health Canada’s guidance is short, and the notice says to contact the manufacturer for additional information. Based on the notice, customers will be directed to remove and destroy the affected components. The notice does not provide a phone number, email address or refund process, so the manufacturer is the right place to ask about those details.

• Compare your kits with the four catalogue numbers listed in this article: DYNJ52921B, DYNJ58124B, DYNJ58124C and DYNJ58124D.
• For EM Pop Pack kits, look for lot 25JBB049.
• For Pontage-LF kits, contact Medline to confirm whether your lot is included, since the list runs to more than ten numbers.
• Follow Medline’s instructions to remove and destroy the affected cannula components.
• Report any health or safety concern through Health Canada’s reporting channels.
