Sentara Infusion Services recalls specific antibiotic vials that may lack sterility assurance. These products were sold with a Beyond Use Date of December 25-31, 2022. Consumers should check their medication labels for the listed product names and contact the pharmacy for details.
Lack of sterility assurance
Sentara Infusion Services has recalled several antibiotic vials that may not be sterile. This could lead to infections if used improperly. The recall applies to specific concentrations and volumes of piperacillin/tazobactam solutions.
The vials may not be sterile, which can cause infections if the medication is injected. This is a serious risk because infections can lead to complications like sepsis, especially in patients with weakened immune systems.
Patients receiving these antibiotics through home infusion or hospital settings are affected. Those using the medication with a Curlin pump or without a pump are at risk.
Check for vials labeled with piperacillin/tazobactam in specific concentrations: 4.5g in 100ml, 18g in 267ml, 27g in 400ml, 3.375g in 50ml, or 36g in 533ml. These were sold with a Beyond Use Date of December 25-31, 2022.
Look for vials with the listed piperacillin/tazobactam concentrations and the Beyond Use Date of December 25-31, 2022.
The vials may lack sterility assurance, which can lead to infections if used improperly.
Check the labels for the specific concentrations and Beyond Use Date. Contact Sentara Home Infusion Pharmacy Services for further instructions.
