Nonsterile syringe potentially exposing the patient to pathogenic microorganisms and a risk of local infection.
Becton Dickinson is recalling insulin syringes with a specific Micro-Fine IV needle that could expose users to infections because they aren't sterile. This is important for people who use insulin for diabetes treatment.
The syringes may not be sterile, which can lead to infections at the injection site. This happens because the manufacturing process didn't meet sterile standards, even though the syringes are designed for safe insulin delivery.
People using insulin for diabetes treatment who own the recalled syringes with catalog number 329420 and lot number 2038204 are affected. Those with diabetes who inject insulin are most at risk.
Check for the catalog number 329420 and lot number 2038204 on the syringe packaging. The syringes have a 1ml capacity, 12.7mm length, and 28G gauge with the Micro-Fine IV needle.
