Recall of 27G x 1.5in hypodermic needles with insufficient sterility documentation. Affected lots from 2012-2017 may pose infection risks. Consumers should check lot numbers and contact manufacturer.
Insufficient documentation to support product sterility claims.
International Medsurg is recalling 27-gauge, 1.5-inch hypodermic needles due to insufficient documentation supporting their sterility claims. This could lead to infections if the needles are not properly sterile during medical procedures.
The needles lack proper documentation confirming their sterility, which means they might not be safe for medical use. This could lead to infections if used improperly during procedures like injections or blood draws.
Medical professionals and individuals using these needles for injections or fluid withdrawal. Those with the specific lot numbers listed in the recall are most at risk.
Check the lot numbers on the packaging, which follow the pattern 12-6780-x through 15-9963-x. The product comes in boxes of 100 needles, with 50 boxes per case.
Look for lot numbers in the format 12-6780-x through 15-9963-x on the packaging.
