Ace Surgical Supply Co., Inc.: Succinylcholine Injection (QUELICIN) Recalled for Mislabeled Expiration Date

Agency Publication Date: November 8, 2017

Summary

Ace Surgical Supply Co., Inc. is recalling 200 vials (approximately 25 of which are mislabeled) of Succinylcholine 20 MG/ML Injection (QUELICIN), a prescription medication. The recall was initiated because the outer poly bag labeling contains an incorrect expiration date. Using medication that is past its actual potency or safety date can lead to reduced effectiveness in clinical settings.

Risk

The outer packaging lists an incorrect expiration date, which could lead healthcare providers to use the medication after it has expired. If used past its true expiration, the drug may not provide the intended level of neuromuscular blockade required during medical procedures.

What You Should Do

Locate your supply of Succinylcholine 20 MG/ML INJ (QUELICIN), 10 ML Vials, specifically checking for Ace Item # 1671018.
Check the outer poly bag and the vial itself for Lot # 64340EV with the expiration date 07/2018.
Identify if the expiration date printed on the outer poly bag matches the date on the vial; if they do not match or if you have this specific lot, the product is affected.
Contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist immediately for guidance regarding the use of this medication.
Return any unused or mislabeled product to the place of purchase or contact Ace Surgical Supply Co., Inc. at 1034 Pearl St, Brockton, MA for specific return instructions.
