Recalled 5cc piston syringes and needles due to lack of sterility documentation. Check product lot numbers for affected items.
Insufficient documentation to support product sterility claims.
International Medsurg is recalling 5cc piston syringes and hypodermic needles because their sterility claims aren't properly documented. This could lead to contamination risks during medical procedures.
The products were intended for medical use but lack sufficient documentation to prove they are sterile. This means there's a potential risk of contamination during procedures, though the actual risk level is low.
Healthcare professionals and patients using these syringes for medical procedures. Those with the specific lot numbers listed are most at risk.
Check for the product model: 5 CC L/L 21 G X 1.5, 100 per box. Look for lot numbers starting with 12-6780-x through 15-9963-x as listed in the recall.
Look for lot numbers in the format 12-6780-x through 15-9963-x on the packaging.
The products lack sufficient documentation to support their sterility claims, which could lead to contamination risks during medical procedures.
Check the lot numbers on the packaging. If they match the listed numbers, contact International Medsurg for guidance.
While the sterility documentation is insufficient, the risk is low. Contamination could occur but is not expected to cause serious injury.
