Valeritas recalls 20-unit demo cartons with potential needle contamination. Affected units have specific lot numbers and part numbers. Stop using immediately to avoid injury.
There is a potential for "No Needle Demo Units" to contain a needle.
Valeritas is recalling 20-unit demo cartons that may contain needles. This poses a risk of injury if someone accidentally punctures themselves while handling the cartons.
The cartons are designed as 'no needle' demo units but may still contain needles. If a needle is present, it could cause injury when the carton is handled or opened.
People who own or use the recalled demo cartons with lot numbers DM218001 through DM218036 are affected. Those handling the cartons without proper care are at highest risk.
Check for the part number 2260-03 and lot numbers listed: DM218001 to DM218036. The cartons are labeled with a specific UDI code starting with (01)10385609020039(17)XXXXXX(10)XXXXXXXX.
Discard the carton if you find a needle or suspect contamination.
