Cardinal Health recalls Protexis Neoprene surgical gloves size 8.0 due to incorrect labeling of chemotherapy drug breakthrough times. This could affect medical 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 8.0 because the label incorrectly states when chemotherapy drugs may permeate through the gloves. This could lead to improper drug exposure during surgery if the gloves are used without knowing the correct breakthrough times.
The gloves have incorrect labeling for when chemotherapy drugs (Carmustine, Thiotepa, and Mitomycin) may leak through the material. This could cause unintended drug exposure if the gloves are used without the correct permeation times.
Operating room personnel who use these gloves during surgery may be affected. The risk is low as the issue is a labeling error, not a physical defect.
