Becton Dickinson recalls BD Posiflush Pre-Filled Normal Saline Syringes with specific catalog and lot numbers due to risk of mixing with experimental products labeled 'Not for Human Use'.
Limited number of syringes labeled Posiflush Experimental Product and Not for Human Use being mixed with standard BD Posiflush Pre-Filled Normal Saline Syringes.
Becton Dickinson is recalling a limited number of BD Posiflush Pre-Filled Normal Saline Syringes (Catalog Number 306547) because some syringes labeled 'Posiflush Experimental Product' and 'Not for Human Use' may be mixed with standard syringes. This could lead to unsafe use if the experimental syringes are used in place of standard ones.
The hazard occurs when syringes labeled 'Posiflush Experimental Product' and 'Not for Human Use' are accidentally mixed with standard BD Posiflush Pre-Filled Normal Saline Syringes. This could lead to using an experimental product intended for non-human use in medical procedures, potentially causing harm.
Healthcare professionals and individuals using medical syringes for saline administration may be affected. Those who have the specific catalog number and lot number are most at risk.
Check for the catalog number 306547 and lot number 9142881 on the syringe. The syringe may also have a unique identifier (UDI) of 50382903065474.
