Insufficient documentation to support product sterility claims.
International Medsurg is recalling piston syringes and hypodermic needles that lack sufficient documentation to prove they are sterile. This could lead to infections if used for medical procedures.
The syringes and needles were not properly documented as sterile, which could result in infections if used for medical procedures. This is a documentation issue, not a physical defect.
Healthcare professionals and patients using these syringes for medical procedures. Those with the specific product model and lot numbers listed are most at risk.
Check for the product model: Piston Syringe and Hypodermic Needle, 3 CC L/L 21 G X 1.5, 100 per box, 24 boxes/case, 2,400/case. Look for lot numbers starting with 12-6780-x through 15-9963-x.
