Recall of 5,000 Yale Disp 21G x 1.5in needles due to insufficient sterility documentation. Affected lots from 2012-2017; check product details to determine if recalled.
Insufficient documentation to support product sterility claims.
Yale Disp 21-gauge hypodermic needles are being recalled because the manufacturer couldn't prove they're sterile. This means some needles might not be sterile, which could lead to infections if used for medical procedures.
The needles were not properly tested for sterility, so they might contain bacteria or other contaminants. If used on a person, this could cause infections or other health issues.
Medical professionals and patients who use these needles for injections or blood draws. Those with the specific lot numbers listed are most at risk.
Check the product label for the brand 'Yale Disp', model '21 G X 1.5 in', and lot numbers starting with 12-6780-x through 15-9963-x. These needles come in boxes of 100, with 50 boxes per case.
Look for the lot numbers listed in the recall notice to determine if your needles are affected.
The manufacturer couldn't provide enough evidence that the needles are sterile, which could lead to infections if used improperly.
Check the product label for the lot numbers starting with 12-6780-x through 15-9963-x, as these are the affected batches.
The recall doesn't require discarding the needles; you only need to check if your lot numbers are affected.
