Cardinal Health is recalling 198,900 Monoject Tuberculin Syringes (1 mL Luer Lock) because the outer packaging and blister packs are mislabeled. While the labels state they contain Tuberculin syringes, the packages actually contain U-100 Insulin syringes. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date, but using the incorrect syringe type could lead to serious medication dosing errors.
The syringes inside the packaging are intended for insulin delivery (U-100) rather than tuberculin use, which may lead to healthcare providers administering the wrong dose of medication. This misidentification poses a risk of significant under-dosing or over-dosing of critical medications.
Recall Number Z-1768-2026. Distributed worldwide including US and Canada.
