Cardinal Health recalls Protexis Neoprene surgical gloves size 5.5 due to incorrect labeling of chemotherapy drug breakthrough times. This could affect patient safety during surgery.
Labeling issue in that the breakthrough (i.e., permeation) times for two chemotherapy drugs (Carmustine and Thiotepa) stated on the wallet (primary packaging) of the Protexis Neoprene surgical gloves are incorrect. Additionally, breakthrough times for Mitomycin were added to the same label in error.
Cardinal Health is recalling Protexis Neoprene surgical gloves size 5.5 because the label incorrectly states when chemotherapy drugs can pass through the gloves. This could lead to contamination of surgical wounds during procedures.
The gloves are labeled with incorrect breakthrough times for chemotherapy drugs like Carmustine and Thiotepa. This means the gloves might not protect surgical wounds from these drugs as intended, potentially causing contamination.
Operating room personnel who use these gloves during surgery may be affected. Patients at risk during procedures using these gloves could be impacted by incorrect breakthrough times.
