CAPS recalls lidocaine 2% 100mg/5mL syringes (NDC 71286-6006-1) with lot numbers from 17-271076 to 17-273771 due to insufficient sanitization validation data.
Lack of assurance of sterility: Lack of validation data for sanitization cycles
Central Admixture Pharmacy Services (CAPS) is recalling lidocaine 2% 100mg/5mL syringes because their sanitization cycles weren't properly validated. This could lead to contamination and infection if the syringes are used for medical injections.
The syringes were manufactured without sufficient validation of their sanitization cycles, meaning they might not be sterile. This could lead to contamination and infection if used for medical injections.
Healthcare professionals who use these syringes for injections, particularly those in hospitals or clinics that dispense the medication. Patients receiving injections with these syringes are at risk of infection.
Check for lot numbers starting with 17-271076 through 17-273771 on the syringe packaging. The product is labeled as lidocaine 2% 100mg/5mL (20mg/mL) syringes, Rx only, with expiration dates from July 2023 through September 2023.
If you have the recalled syringes, stop using them immediately to prevent potential infection.

Check the lot number on the syringe packaging; if it starts with 17-271076 through 17-273771, it is recalled.
