Banner Pharmacy Services, LLC: Various Compounded Injectable Medications Recalled for Lack of Sterility

Agency Publication Date: October 23, 2017

Summary

Banner Pharmacy Services, LLC is recalling 60,444 units of various compounded injectable medications, including pain relievers like Fentanyl and Hydromorphone, and antibiotics like Vancomycin, because they may not be sterile. Use of a non-sterile injectable drug can lead to life-threatening infections or other serious medical complications. The affected products include various syringes, IV bags, and cassettes distributed to healthcare facilities nationwide between April and October 2017.

Risk

The lack of sterility assurance means these injectable drugs may contain microorganisms that could cause serious infections when administered directly into a patient's bloodstream or body. No specific injuries were reported in the data, but the potential for harm is significant given the nature of these medications.

What You Should Do

Identify if you have any of the affected Banner Health Compounding Pharmacy products by checking the label for the name, NDC number, and lot codes. For example, check for Fentanyl citrate 1000 mcg cassettes (NDC 7025011001) with lot 041317S1 or Hydromorphone HCl 10 mg syringes (NDC 7025001001) with lot 041817S5.

Immediately stop using any medications identified as part of this recall and quarantine the product to prevent further use.
Contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist immediately if you have been administered any of these medications and have concerns about your health or potential infection symptoms.
Return any unused or remaining products to the pharmacy or facility where they were obtained for a refund and further instructions.
