Lack of Assurance of Sterility
SCA Pharmaceuticals is recalling a specific fentanyl injection product because it lacks sterility assurance. This means the product could cause infections if used improperly. The recall affects certain lots with specific expiration dates.
The product lacks sterility assurance, meaning it may not be free from harmful bacteria or contaminants. If used in medical procedures, this could lead to infections or other complications. The risk is particularly concerning for epidural injections where sterility is critical.
Healthcare professionals and patients who have the specific fentanyl injection product with the listed lot numbers are affected. Those using the product for epidural procedures are at higher risk.
Check the product label for the lot numbers 1223049261 (expiring December 2023) or 1223049724 (expiring January 2024). The product is only available by prescription and for epidural use.
