Nonsterile syringe potentially exposing the patient to pathogenic microorganisms and a risk of local infection.
Becton Dickinson is recalling insulin syringes that may have nonsterile needles, which could expose users to infections. This is serious because insulin injections are critical for diabetes management, and infections can lead to complications.
The syringes may contain nonsterile needles that can introduce harmful bacteria into the body during insulin injections. This increases the risk of local infections, which can become serious if not treated promptly.
People using insulin syringes for diabetes treatment are affected. Those with diabetes who use these specific syringes are at higher risk of infection.
