Nephron recalls 6 x 5 syringe packs of hydromorphone injection due to lack of sterility assurance. This could lead to infections if used improperly.
Lack of Assurance of Sterility
Nephron is recalling hydromorphone injections that may not be sterile, which could cause infections if used. This is a serious risk for patients needing pain relief.
The injections lack proper sterility assurance, meaning they could contain harmful bacteria or other contaminants. If injected, this could cause serious infections or other health issues.
Patients prescribed hydromorphone injections by doctors. Those using the recalled product for pain management are at highest risk.
Look for the product name 'Hydromorphone HCl Injection, USP, 6 mg/30 mL (0.2 mg/mL)' in 5 x 30 mL pre-filled syringes. The lot number HH2008A and expiration date 9/5/2022 are key identifiers.
Immediately stop using the recalled hydromorphone injections as they may not be sterile and could cause infections.
No, the product may not be sterile and could cause infections if used. Do not use it.
Check for the lot number HH2008A and expiration date 9/5/2022 on the packaging.
Stop using it immediately and contact your doctor for alternative pain management options.
