Sentara Infusion Services recalls specific hydromorphone IV solutions (1mg/ml and 5mg/ml) due to lack of sterility assurance. This could lead to infections if used improperly.
Lack of sterility assurance
Sentara Infusion Services has recalled certain hydromorphone IV solutions because they lack sterility assurance. Using these products could lead to infections if not properly handled.
The recalled hydromorphone solutions do not have adequate sterility assurance, meaning they could be contaminated with bacteria. If used without proper sterilization, this could lead to infections in patients.
Patients receiving hydromorphone injections through home infusion therapy are affected. Those using the recalled products for pain management are at risk of infection.
Check for the product names: Hydromorphone 1mg/ml in 50ml, 75ml, 100ml, or 175ml (NDC 00703-0018-01 and NDC 00409-2634-50) or 5mg/ml in 60ml, 100ml, or 250ml. These were sold by Sentara Home Infusion Pharmacy Services in Chesapeake, VA.
Identify the product by checking the NDC numbers and volume sizes listed in the recall notice.
The recall states there is a lack of sterility assurance, so these products are not safe to use without proper testing.
Check the product labels for the specific NDC numbers and volume sizes mentioned in the recall notice.
The recall does not specify a remedy, so contact Sentara Home Infusion Pharmacy Services for guidance.
