Nephron recalls 0.9% buffered lidocaine syringes due to lack of sterility assurance. Affected units were manufactured in 2007 and expire July 2022. Consumers should contact Nephron for details.
Lack of Assurance of Sterility
Nephron is recalling 0.9% buffered lidocaine syringes that may not be sterile. This could lead to infections if used for medical purposes. The recall affects syringes with specific lot numbers and expiration dates.
The syringes lack assurance of sterility, meaning they might not be clean. If used for injections, this could cause infections. The risk is low but not zero for medical procedures.
Patients using these syringes for medical procedures are affected. Healthcare providers and patients who received the recalled syringes from Nephron are most at risk.
Check for the Nephron brand, 45 mg/5 mL syringes, and lot numbers BL2007A. The syringes were packaged in 5 x 5 mL cartons with an expiration date of July 2022.
Look for the lot number BL2007A and expiration date of July 2022 on the syringe packaging.
The recall states there is a lack of assurance of sterility, so they may not be safe for medical use.
Contact Nephron Sterile Compounding Center LLC for details on the recall and next steps.
