B. Braun Medical, Inc. is recalling 33,742 bags of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection USP (saline) in 250 mL Excel Containers. The recall was initiated because some bags were found to be leaking, which compromises the sterility of the solution. No injuries or incidents have been reported to date, but using a non-sterile injectable product can lead to serious infections. Facilities should contact their supplier or B. Braun to return any remaining inventory from the affected lots.
The leaking bags create a pathway for bacteria or other environmental contaminants to enter the saline solution, destroying its sterility. Injecting a non-sterile fluid directly into a patient's bloodstream poses a significant risk of severe, life-threatening infections.
