Cardinal Health recalls Protexis Neoprene surgical gloves size 7.0 with incorrect chemotherapy drug breakthrough times on labels. This could lead to improper drug exposure during surgery. Affected lot numbers are listed in the recall notice.
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 7.0 because the labels incorrectly state when chemotherapy drugs can penetrate the gloves. This could mean surgeons are exposed to drugs they shouldn't be, risking patient safety during procedures.
The labels on the gloves incorrectly list how long chemotherapy drugs (Carmustine, Thiotepa, and Mitomycin) take to pass through the glove material. If surgeons rely on these numbers, they might not know when drugs could reach their hands during surgery, potentially exposing themselves to harmful levels.
Operating room personnel who use the recalled gloves for surgery may be affected. The risk is low because the issue is with labeling, not the gloves' physical safety.
Check for the product code 2D73DP70 on the label. The gloves are light brown, powder-free, and size 7.0. Lot numbers include TS18050417 through TS18090288.
Look for the product code 2D73DP70 on the label to confirm if the gloves are affected.
The labels incorrectly state the breakthrough times for chemotherapy drugs (Carmustine, Thiotepa, and Mitomycin) through the gloves, which could lead to improper drug exposure during surgery.
Check the label for the product code 2D73DP70 and lot numbers listed. If you have the affected lot numbers, contact Cardinal Health for guidance.
The gloves are safe for use if the labels are checked for the correct product code and lot numbers. The issue is with labeling, not the physical safety of the gloves.
