Sentara recalls methylprednisolone 12mg in 1.2ml syringes due to lack of sterility assurance. This steroid injection may cause infection if used after the expiration date of December 29-31, 2022.
Lack of sterility assurance
Sentara is recalling methylprednisolone 12mg in 1.2ml syringes because they lack sterility assurance. This could lead to infections if the syringe is used after the expiration date of December 29-31, 2022.
The syringes do not have proper sterility assurance, meaning they could be contaminated with bacteria. If used after the expiration date, this increases the risk of infection in patients receiving the injection.
Patients receiving methylprednisolone injections through Sentara Home Infusion Pharmacy Services. Those using syringes beyond the expiration date of December 29-31, 2022 are at higher risk.
