Lack of assurance of sterility: Lack of validation data for sanitization cycles
Central Admixture Pharmacy Services has recalled specific fentanyl and bupivacaine solutions because their sterility validation data is insufficient. This could lead to infections if the medication is not properly sterilized during preparation.
The recall states there is a lack of validation data for sanitization cycles, meaning the solution might not be sterile. If the medication is contaminated, it could cause serious infections in patients during medical procedures.
Healthcare professionals using these medications for anesthesia or pain management. Patients receiving these drugs through IV lines are at risk if the solution is contaminated.
Check for the product name: fentanyl 2 mcg/mL and bupivacaine 0.125% in 0.9% sodium chloride, 100 mL. Look for lot numbers 17-274485 through 17-273147 with expiration dates up to September 2023.
