Lack of sterility assurance
Sentara is recalling ethanol 70% 0.5ml syringes because they lack sterility assurance. This could lead to infections if used improperly. The recall covers products with a December 2022 expiration date.
The syringes do not have sufficient sterility assurance, meaning they could become contaminated during use. This increases the risk of infection, especially for individuals with weakened immune systems or those requiring frequent injections.
Patients using these syringes for medical purposes, particularly those with compromised immune systems, are most at risk. Healthcare providers and home infusion pharmacy users may also be affected.
Check for the product name 'ETHANOL 70% 0.5ML SYRINGE' from Sentara Home Infusion Pharmacy Services. Products with a December 25-31, 2022 expiration date are included in this recall.
Verify the expiration date on the syringe; products with a December 25-31, 2022 expiration date are affected.
The syringes lack sterility assurance, which could lead to infections if used improperly.
Contact Sentara Home Infusion Pharmacy Services for instructions on how to handle the recalled product.
The recall is due to infection risks, not physical injury. The danger level is low risk.
