Apollo Care, LLC is recalling 440 bags of FentaNYL (500mcg) and Ropivacaine HCl (250mg) added to 250 mL of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection. This medication is intended for epidural use and was distributed to healthcare facilities in Missouri. The recall was initiated because the company cannot guarantee that the product is sterile. If a medication meant for injection is not sterile, it could contain harmful microorganisms that cause serious infections.
The use of a non-sterile injectable product can lead to life-threatening infections, including meningitis or spinal abscesses. While no injuries have been reported, the lack of sterility assurance poses a significant health risk to patients receiving this epidural medication.
Quantity: 440 bags. Manufactured in Columbia, MO.
