B Braun Medical Inc. is recalling 187,656 containers of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection USP (500 mL). The recall was issued because pinholes were found in the packaging used during the manufacturing process, which can lead to leaks and a lack of sterility. This product is a sterile intravenous solution used to provide the body with water and salt.
The presence of pinholes compromises the sterile barrier of the container, which could allow bacteria or other contaminants to enter the solution. Using a non-sterile injectable drug can lead to serious, potentially life-threatening infections.
Manufactured by B.Braun Medical Inc., Bethlehem, PA 18018-3524, USA. Recall #: D-0491-2025.
