B. Braun Medical Inc. is recalling 7,800 bags of Lactated Ringer's Injection USP (1,000mL) due to a potential defect that causes the EXCEL containers to leak. The recall affects product units with NDC 0264-7750-00 and lot J3N023. These leaks compromise the sterility of the intravenous fluid, which is required for patient safety during administration. The company initiated this voluntary recall after discovering the lack of sterility assurance.
If the injection bag leaks, the fluid inside is no longer guaranteed to be sterile. Administering a non-sterile injection to a patient can result in serious bloodstream infections or other life-threatening medical complications.
Quantity affected: 7,800 bags
