BayCare Central Pharmacy has recalled 253 syringes of Succinylcholine Chloride 100 mg/5 mL (20 mg/mL), an injectable medication used for anesthesia and intubation. The recall was issued because the pharmacy cannot guarantee the sterility of the product, which could lead to serious or life-threatening infections if used. There have been no reported incidents or injuries to date, and the recall affects products distributed in Florida.
Using a medication that is not sterile can introduce bacteria or other contaminants directly into a patient's bloodstream, potentially causing severe infections or sepsis. Because this medication is administered intravenously, the risk of rapid and dangerous health complications is significant.
Quantity: 253 syringes
