CAPS recalls glycopyrrolate anesthesia syringes due to lack of sterility assurance. Products may contain contaminants that could cause infection if used.
Lack of assurance of sterility. Validation data for decontamination cycles is lacking.
Central Admixture Pharmacy Services (CAPS) recalls certain glycopyrrolate syringes for anesthesia use because they lack proper sterility validation. This could lead to infections if the product is used.
The syringes were not validated for proper decontamination cycles, meaning they might not be sterile. This could allow contaminants to enter the body during anesthesia procedures, potentially causing infections.
Healthcare professionals who use these syringes for anesthesia procedures may be affected. Patients receiving anesthesia through these syringes are at risk of infection.
