Lack of assurance of sterility. Validation data for decontamination cycles is lacking.
Central Admixture Pharmacy Services has recalled oxyTOCIN 20 units added to Lactated Ringer's 1000 mL IV bags because the manufacturing process did not ensure sterility. This recall is critical as contaminated IV bags could cause serious infections in patients receiving the medication.
The recall states that validation data for decontamination cycles is lacking, meaning the bags may not be sterile. If the bags are not sterile, they could introduce harmful bacteria into the patient's bloodstream, leading to infections.
Healthcare professionals who use these IV bags for medical treatments are most at risk. Patients receiving oxytocin via these bags could be affected if the product is contaminated.
Check for the NDC number 72196-6038-1 on the bag. The product was sold with specific lot numbers and expiration dates listed in the recall notice, including dates from July 14, 2023, through August 20, 2023.
Look for the NDC number 72196-6038-1 and the listed lot numbers and expiration dates on the IV bag.
