Insufficient documentation to support product sterility claims.
International Medsurg is recalling 16G hypodermic needles that lack proper sterility documentation. This could lead to infections if used in medical procedures since the needles might not be sterile.
The needles were manufactured without sufficient documentation to prove they are sterile. This means they could be contaminated and cause infections during medical procedures if used improperly.
Healthcare professionals and medical facilities using these needles for injections or fluid withdrawal. Patients receiving procedures with these needles are at risk of infection.

Look for lot numbers starting with 12-6780-x through 15-9963-x or 16-0366-x through 17-1691-x on the packaging.
