Bard recalls two bone marrow aspiration needles due to incomplete packaging seals that may allow non-sterile product. Affected units have specific serial numbers and catalog codes.
Due to complaints received regarding incomplete/open packaging seals potentially causing product to non-sterile.
Bard is recalling two types of bone marrow aspiration needles because their packaging seals might be incomplete, which could let non-sterile product enter the needles. This is serious because medical procedures require sterile tools to prevent infections.
Incomplete packaging seals could let contaminants enter the needles during storage or handling. This creates a risk of infection during medical procedures since the needles must be sterile for safe use.
Healthcare professionals using these needles for bone marrow procedures are affected. Patients receiving these needles during medical treatments are at risk of infection.
