Recalled piston syringes and needles may not meet sterility standards. Check catalog numbers and known lots for affected products. Stop using immediately if you have these medical devices.
Insufficient documentation to support product sterility claims.
International Medsurg is recalling piston syringes and hypodermic needles due to insufficient documentation supporting their sterility claims. This means the products might not be sterile, which could lead to infections if used for medical procedures.
The products lack proper documentation to confirm they are sterile. Medical devices that aren't sterile can introduce harmful bacteria into the body, causing infections during procedures.
People who own or use these medical devices for injections or blood draws are affected. Healthcare providers and patients using the products for medical treatments are at risk of infection.
Check for catalog number SN0102215 and known lot numbers listed in the recall (e.g., 12-6780-x, 12-6925-x, etc.). The products are sold in boxes of 100 needles per box, 10 boxes per case, and 1,000 per case.
If you have the recalled syringes or needles, stop using them right away to prevent potential infections.
The recall is due to insufficient documentation supporting the products' sterility claims, which means they might not be sterile and could cause infections.
