Recall of 27G x 0.5in 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, 0.5-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 in procedures requiring sterile conditions.
Healthcare professionals and medical facilities using these needles for injections or fluid withdrawal. Patients receiving procedures with these needles may be at risk of infection.
Check for the product name: Hypodermic Needle, 27 G X 0.5 in REG BEVEL, 100 per box. Look for lot numbers starting with 12-6780-x through 15-9963-x (2012-2017 production).
Look for lot numbers in the format 12-6780-x through 15-9963-x on the packaging.
The needles lack sufficient documentation to support their sterility claims, which could lead to infection risks during medical procedures.
Check the lot number on the packaging to see if it's in the affected range. If it is, contact International Medsurg for guidance.
The recall addresses potential infection risks if the needles are not properly sterile, but there is no immediate danger to users who have already used them safely.
