B. Braun Medical Inc. has recalled 1,827,211 bags of 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP, in 1000 mL and 500 mL EXCEL Plus containers. The recall was initiated because the bags may have an incomplete seal, leading to microscopic leaks near the port assembly. These saline injections are used to replace fluids and salts in patients at hospitals and healthcare facilities. There have been no reports of injuries to date.
A compromise in the bag's seal can result in a loss of sterility, potentially allowing bacteria to enter the saline solution and causing serious infection in patients receiving the intravenous injection.
