Sentara recalls specific sodium chloride solutions due to lack of sterility assurance. These products are for medical use only and may pose infection risks if used improperly.
Lack of sterility assurance
Sentara is recalling certain sodium chloride solutions (0.9%) that may not be sterile. This could lead to infections if used in medical treatments, especially for patients receiving intravenous therapy.
The solutions lack sterility assurance, meaning they could contain harmful microorganisms. If used in medical treatments, this could cause infections in patients, particularly those with weakened immune systems.
Patients using these sodium chloride solutions for medical infusion therapy are at risk. Healthcare providers administering these products may also be affected.
Check for the product names: Sodium Chloride 0.9% with volumes 100ML, 69.3ML, 71.4ML, 77.7ML, 130ML, 210ML, 190ML, or 220ML. These were sold by Sentara Home Infusion Pharmacy Services in Chesapeake, VA, with a beyond use date of December 24-30, 2022.
Look for the specific volumes listed in the recall notice to confirm if your product is affected.
The recall states there is a lack of sterility assurance, so these products may not be safe for medical use. Do not use them without confirming the recall.
