Lack of assurance of sterility: Lack of validation data for sanitization cycles
Central Admixture Pharmacy Services (CAPS) is recalling specific lots of succinylcholine 200mg/10mL syringes because their sanitization cycles weren't properly validated for sterility. This could lead to infections if the medication is used without proper sterility.
The syringes were manufactured without sufficient validation of their sanitization cycles. This means the product might not be sterile when used, potentially causing infections in patients during medical procedures.
Patients receiving succinylcholine injections from healthcare facilities using these specific CAPS syringes. Medical staff handling the product are most at risk during improper sanitation.
